Search Component Pre-Filtering

:glowing_star: Hello Knack Community! :glowing_star:

I’m happy to share my latest video, which addresses a recent client request for enhanced search functionality using Knack’s search component. In this video, I demonstrate how to filter records by a default value for a more intuitive and streamlined user experience.

Thanks to Craig Winnall (@CSWinnall) for creating and providing the snippet of JavaScript that makes this possible!

• The JavaScript code snippet listens for a specific route change in a Knack application, specifically when the user navigates to a scene with the slug ‘client-search’.
• Upon detecting this route, the code checks if the slug contains ‘client-search’.
• If it does, it redirects the user to a predefined URL that automatically applies a filter to display only the records with a status of “Pending” in the “client-search” view.

In summary, this code facilitates pre-filtering of search results based on the specified status, enhancing the user experience by displaying relevant data immediately when users access the search view.
