Can't Search for Specific Links

WHAT IS THE BUG

I have a collection, each object in the collection has a link field. When I try to search for a specific object by link, as a result I get all my objects in no particular order, as if the search cannot differentiate between the links at all.

HOW TO REPRODUCE IT

Create multiple objects with a link field, try to search for a specific object by its link.

THE EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

I’d like to be able to search for objects by their specific link.

  • Anytype Version:
    v.0.33.3

Seems to be OK on IOS.

Hi @BeholderVee and welcome to the Community!

Can you please share a screen recording of your issue?

It sounds like you have a custom Relation called “link” where you’re adding a web-link to the text field, and wish to be able to search for that text?

I’m adding a link to a pre-existing “url” field. Placing it into the object’s description doesn’t change anything, though, so it doesn’t matter.
I just tried reproducing the issue for a screenshot and got a different problem.
Now searching by link just doesn’t bring up anything.
If I go back and search the objects I originally discovered the issue with, I still get them all. But I cannot reproduce it with new objects.
The first three screenshots are my failed attempt to reproduce the original issue. Example #1 has the link, but it doesn’t show up.
The last screenshot is the original issue. None of the old examples have the link I put in the search bar, yet they show up.
