[Bug] search field doesn't work

Bug report

What I did

The search field is already there by default.

What I expected to happen

I expect that the results are filtered.

What happened

The results are not filtered.

Is it a bug in the latest version of Backpack?

After I run composer update backpack/crud the bug… is it still there?

Yes

Backpack, Laravel, PHP, DB version

When I run php artisan backpack:version the output is:

`### PHP VERSION: PHP 7.4.19 (cli) (built: May 12 2021 21:21:38) ( NTS ) Copyright © The PHP Group Zend Engine v3.4.0, Copyright © Zend Technologies with Zend OPcache v7.4.19, Copyright ©, by Zend Technologies

LARAVEL VERSION:

v8.45.1@dc2f0bb02c3eb4b27669d626bb3e810db8e7749d

BACKPACK VERSION:

4.1.63@c3a09d64090cc15c51df7898889d763aaa335260`

Any ideas how to fix it ?

Thanks.

Hello @tabacitu and @pxpm,

I just fixed the bug, I removed ->type('string') and it works !

Thanks a lot for your help 😃

Hello @tabacitu and @pxpm,

Sorry, I was on vacation 😃

You could try adding custom search logic to the column https://backpackforlaravel.com/docs/4.1/crud-columns#custom-search-logic-for-columns if the ajax request happens to be made.

@pxpm Thanks for this suggestion, it works but I still don’t understand why it doesn’t work without custom search logic ?

So the problem is... you write "Office" in the search input and NOTHING happens? Nothing is filtered?

Yes that’s it. It’s weird because it works with custom search logic…

Is the search() method overriden in you CrudController, by any chance? No, there isn’t a CrudController. Any ideas ?
