Client-side search on Agentflows page only searches current page #5868
Description
Describe the bug
Client-side search on Agentflows page only searches current page
Problem
The Agentflows page (packages/ui/src/views/agentflows/index.jsx) uses client-side search via the filterFlows function. This filter only applies to the currently loaded page of data from the paginated API response.
When a user searches for an agentflow by name, category, or ID, the search only matches results within the currently displayed page. If the target agentflow exists on a different page, it will not be found, leading to a poor user experience.
Current Implementation:
// API fetches paginated data
getAllAgentflows.request(nextView === 'v2' ? 'AGENTFLOW' : 'MULTIAGENT', params)
// Client-side filter only works on loaded page
function filterFlows(data) {
return (
data.name.toLowerCase().indexOf(search.toLowerCase()) > -1 ||
(data.category && data.category.toLowerCase().indexOf(search.toLowerCase()) > -1) ||
data.id.toLowerCase().indexOf(search.toLowerCase()) > -1
)
}
Proposed Solution
Implement server-side search with debounced API calls:
- Backend Changes:
- Add search or name query parameter to getAllChatflows API
- Modify the service query to include WHERE name LIKE %search% OR category LIKE %search% OR id LIKE %search%
- Frontend Changes:
- Add debounce (e.g., 300ms) to search input
- Trigger API call with search parameter instead of client-side filtering
- Reset pagination to page 1 when search term changes
