# Search Duplication Fix ## Issue The park search was showing duplicate results because: 1. There were two separate forms with the same ID ("filter-form") 2. Both forms were targeting the same element ("#park-results") 3. The search form and filter form were operating independently ## Solution 1. Created a custom autocomplete package to handle search functionality: - ModelAutocomplete base class for model-based autocomplete - AutocompleteWidget for rendering the search input - Templates for widget and suggestions - Views for handling search and selection 2. Updated ParkAutocomplete to use ModelAutocomplete: ```python class ParkAutocomplete(ModelAutocomplete): model = Park search_attrs = ['name'] minimum_search_length = 2 max_results = 8 ``` 3. Combined search and filter functionality into a single form: ```html
``` 4. Added proper URL routing for autocomplete: ```python path("ac/", include((autocomplete_patterns, "autocomplete"), namespace="autocomplete")) ``` ## Benefits 1. No more duplicate search requests 2. Cleaner template structure 3. Better user experience with a single search interface 4. Proper integration with django-htmx-autocomplete 5. Simplified view logic 6. Reusable autocomplete functionality for other models ## Technical Details - Using django-htmx-autocomplete's AutocompleteWidget for search - Single form submission handles both search and filtering - HTMX handles the dynamic updates - View mode selection preserved during search/filter operations - Minimum search length of 2 characters - Maximum of 8 search results - Search results include park status and location
