Hi, what is the best way for searching by text?
I have a list of data which include description and title (articles)
And I have to find the best solution to develop feature "Search"
App should return result of the search with ignoring cases and search like in SQLite %Like%

Hi Ed,

There's no way to perform fuzzy searches, contains, or other SQL queries like this. In most cases, SQL queries turn out to be a pretty poor substitute for proper search tooling, anyway.

The best answer for Firebase is to integrate with a search tool like ElasticSearch or BigQuery. Here's some more reading on the topic:
