[SOLVED] iOS Search Query not working as expected

[terse vine]

The search query is not working as expected. When I search for part of a username in my code, it doesn't return documents unless I include the first part of the username (as if it was a "starts with" query). This is my code:

let usernameDocuments = try await databases.listDocuments( databaseId: databaseId, collectionId: "#############", queries: [ Query.search("username", value: username), ] )

Based on the documentation (https://appwrite.io/docs/products/databases/queries) this requires a full text index, which I have created already.

A recent support entry here suggested using contains, but Query.contains is not available for iOS (?).

I think it's like
Query.search("text", "key words")

Yes, that's the expected behavior. If you want to do a substring match, use the contains query

What SDK are you using and what version?

[terse vine]

It seems like the syntax is different with Swift. Adding "value:" works with the other queries.

I'm using the Swift SDK in XCode. The Query class doesn't have a "contains" function in Swift.

I found this version in the readme. Is there another way to see the version? Version

what repo did you use for the library via SPM?
Client side, use sdk-for-apple: https://github.com/appwrite/sdk-for-apple

Query definitely has the method here.

yaa. the attribute arg is not needed to be defined, but the value is required.

Thank you @cobalt nymph ! this is the issue. (sorry for the late reply)
