Dashboard search - custom behaviour

[Olek]

Hello,

I would like to suggest adding custom number of characters for the search bar on left panel when search is performed. For example, search will start after typing 3 letters. It would also be great if that search would be asynchronous instead of stopping everything. 

Currently search is run after 1 character and with a big number of dashboards freezes whole application, sometimes causing browser to show alert that page is unresponsive.

Hi Olek,

It would be great if there was an interface to do this. Below is a potential option to try - but I wouldn't recommend without testing.

You could achieve this by modifying the navver.services.navverSearchService in Sisense. You'd have to apply the change on a global level, so a plugin would be the best spot to do it.

In the main.js file you have a variable called "letterCount" which will dictate the 'start search point'. The plugin has this set to 5 (please see below).

prism.$injector.get('navver.services.navverSearchService').search = function(e) {
    let letterCount = 5
    let o = prism.$injector.get('navver.services.navverService')                
    if (this.searchDashboardsValue = String(e),
                        e.length < letterCount)
                            return this.openFolders(!0),
                            o.searchMatchedTerm = null,
                            void (o.model.searchDashboards = null);
                        o.searchMatchedTerm = e,
                        this.filterSearchModel(e)
                    }

Please see attached in plugin form - dashboardSearchPacifier.zip

Let me know how you go?

Thanks,

Daniel
