Server side pagination with search

I have a webpage where I’m listing some data from the database. There’s also a button that the users can press to load more stuff from the database. I’m trying to limit my query so not all the data get’s loaded to the client at once. The users can also search in the data.

My Query:

export default createQuery({
  movies: {
    $filter({filters, options, params}) {
      filters.title = { $regex: new RegExp(`.*${params.title}.*`, "i") };
    },
    $paginate: true,
    title: 1
  }
}); 

Client:

export default withQuery((props) => {
  return query.clone({
    title: props.title,
    limit: props.limit
  });
}, {reactive: true})(Movies)

My problem is that the search only occurs in the limited documents and not in every document in the movies collection. Is there any way to fix this?

I think I had something similar for an issue and believe I solved it by using scoped queries. It is an issue of pub-sub, but it seems to me the problem can be overcome with scoped queries.

I tried that idea in my own fork of grapher and it worked as expected. I used library from mitar, meteor-subscription-scope, and made some adaptation for grapher.

Example of usage:

const query = createQuery('...', {
    $filters: {...},
    ...,
}, {
    scoped: true,
});

Notice the scoped option for a query.

@theodorDiaconu If you are interested, I can make PR. This is the commit where I implemented that feature.
