Search Feature Not Working in My AI App
Your app has a search feature but it doesn't work correctly. It returns no results even when data exists, returns wrong results, is extremely slow, or crashes the page.
Common Causes
- Search queries the wrong field or table
- Case-sensitive matching when it should be case-insensitive
- The search function only works on client-side data, not the full database
- Missing database indexes making search queries extremely slow
- Special characters in search input causing query errors
How to Fix It
- Check the browser Network tab to see what search query is being sent to the API
- Verify the API returns the expected results by testing the endpoint directly
- If search is too slow, add a database index on the searchable columns
- Make sure the search is case-insensitive (use ILIKE in PostgreSQL or toLowerCase in the app)
- Sanitize search input to prevent special characters from breaking the query

Caio Rodrigues
I'm a full-stack developer focused on building practical and scalable web applications. My main experience is with **React, TypeScript, and modern frontend architectures**, where I prioritize clean code, component reusability, and maintainable project structures.
I have strong experience working with **dynamic forms, state management (Redux / React Hook Form), and complex data-driven interfaces**. I enjoy solving real-world problems by turning ideas into reliable software that companies can actually use in their daily operations.
Beyond coding, I care about **software quality and architecture**, following best practices for componentization, code organization, and performance optimization.
I'm also comfortable working across the stack when needed, integrating APIs, handling business logic, and helping transform prototypes into production-ready systems.
My goal is always to deliver solutions that are **simple, efficient, and genuinely useful for the people using them.**

Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
Search returns no results even though the data exists. Why?
The search is probably querying the wrong field, or using exact match instead of partial match. A developer can check the query and fix it.
Search works but is very slow. Can it be fixed?
Yes. Adding a database index on the search column usually fixes this immediately. A developer can also implement more efficient search patterns.
