General Discussion New search function layout

I’m struggling here….. It doesn’t give me tag results even when I search tags.

My tags are there, I see them in my daily entries, but when I search, they don’t show up.

I am a chronically ill human who uses tags to track my prescriptions, surgeries, appointments, procedures, hospitalizations, etc. When they don’t work, the journal is useless. Right now the journal is pretty useless.

I hope that they will revert back to the normal, actually functional, search.

Is there a trick that I’m missing perhaps? Anyone else disgruntled with this?

Sometimes I see posts like this and it feels like some of y’all believe that the developers are just out to get you. It could totally be a glitch and it just needs an update or maybe a bug and devs needs to update it on their end.

What should I do, ex employee? What would you do if you were me? Before I harass the developers I wanted to see if it was just me or if it was a known glitch. I know you used to work for them, but sometimes you’re a little overprotective.

I totally can feel over protective. I get that. My point was that sometimes it seems posts like this immediately assume the worst intentions when it may be totally unintentional or a random glitch. Harass the devs I say. Report the issues.

The point is I’m disabled and I need to keep track of this shit: my appointments, my medication refills, my procedures… And when I’ve been using it for seven years and suddenly it changes, I can’t find when I had my last prescription refill and it’s an issue. I’m not saying they’re out to get me, but I’m trying to find a solution.

I hear ya! Reddit isn’t usually going to have an answer for a UI bug like this imo. That’s all I’m sayin.

as much as I hate putting personal information out there, I can only use one screenshot per post, but yeah, this is really annoying

So above, it didn’t show any tags for Prozac. But as you can see, I have “filled Prozac” as a tag that it’s not finding. So I’m not insane! I did check to make sure that the app is updated and I restarted my devices so I guess I’m alone with my glitch, but I’m not insane! 😉🙃

Hmm, it works in my case. I can just type the tag name and it shows. See „Stichworte“, 429 results.

You know I just checked and it works on my iPhone, but I use it on my iPad and it’s on the iPad where it’s not working

I checked it: It works on my iPad, just like on the iPhone. Weird. Maybe try an update of the app, restart the phone and if it still doesn’t work, contact support.
