Text facet stops working while typing

Johno_Ridden · October 10, 2024, 10:42pm

Hello,

Recently I have come across an annoying UX feature. I am typing a text facet and mid typing the text box is deselected. The [working] pop-up begins about a second after I stop typing. This is a large dataset over 320,000 entries.

I have shared a video snip of this interaction. https://canterburymuseum-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/p/jridden/Erw_4bBYDv5BtDGg_lRGX6EBuNa-hk9kyhZEaHmVbDerXg?e=b7A1AU).

I am using OpenRefine Version 3.8.2 [TRUNK].

Appreciate any guidance on this to stop it happening.

Thanks,
Johno

We should probably make the below more easily configurable via a Preference setting - if you'd like that, then please open a new issue for that, or give your opinions on this older issue:

**Is your feature request related to a problem or area of OpenRefine? Please des…cribe.** Currently, we use a timeout to decide the trigger of the server to show us search result which sometimes may be fascinating for users with large regex. **Describe the solution you'd like** Show a button to apply filter with entering key-binding in place of deciding the timeout for users. **Additional context** Please see this for more info https://github.com/OpenRefine/OpenRefine/pull/2324#issuecomment-596133245

Otherwise, to workaround our default timeouts for Text Filter typing delay:

The Text Filter (TextSearch internally) has a default of .5 secs if not using Regex checkbox which itself defaults to 1.5 secs.

You can edit the text-search-facet.js file inside your installation folders and change the 500 value to something like 2000 for a 2 second delay, if that helps.

Here's the file to look for and the line:

              this._elmts.invertButton.removeClass("facet-mode-inverted");
            }
          };
          
          _scheduleUpdate() {
            if (!this._timerID) {
              var self = this;
              this._timerID = window.setTimeout(function() {
                self._timerID = null;
                self._updateRest();
              }, self._config.mode === 'regex' ? 1500 : 500);
            }
          };
          
          _updateRest() {
            Refine.update({ engineChanged: true });
          };
          
          _uniqueIdForLabels() {
            return TextSearchFacet.textSearchFacetCounterForLabels++;
          };
