[Feature] Simple search functionality

Do you want to do '%' + searchInput + '%' or do you only want exact matches? Also maybe use ilike so it's case insensitive.

[PranjalAgni]

We can also sanatize query param searchInput, as currently its been directly passed to the native SQL query. What do you think @benawad ?

[benawad]

I believe TypeORM escapes $1 for you

[PranjalAgni]

Yeah that's there, so it will be done already. Also are we deleting stories after 24 hours or storing it forever

[PranjalAgni]

I was thinking if we were deleting stories after 24 hours then we don't need pagination as there will be atmost 10 stories available so we can return the stories for that user immediately

My b, didn't think about case insensitivity. Yeah, imo we should also allow "similar" and not only case sensitive exact matches.

Yh, we would save memory and computation time - also, having an auto deletion with an interval of 1 day seems to be pretty reasonable for stories.

for now I'm keeping all the stories until I wipe the db, but that's a separate concern

Yes I just asked to be sure as in code logic like this was not there

Hey, I tried making a request but the %$1% doesn't work for me. I think it's because of the missing apostrophes. Did you try it? @FluentCoding
