Bug: Autocorrect in Search Causes Certain Channel Names to be Hidden

Introduction In the world of online content creation, having a unique and memorable name is crucial for standing out from the crowd. However, a recent issue has been reported in the PipePipe app, where certain channel names are being autocorrected in the search bar, making them impossible to find. This article will delve into the details of this bug, its frequency, and the steps to reproduce it.

The Bug: Autocorrect in Search The bug in question occurs when a user searches for a specific channel name in the PipePipe app. The search bar, equipped with autocorrect functionality, attempts to correct the user's input to a more "correct" or "recognized" term. However, in some cases, this autocorrect feature can be overly aggressive, changing the original search term to a completely different word. This can lead to the original channel being hidden from view, making it impossible for users to find and access their content.

Example: Keybored vs. Keyboard One such example of this bug is the channel "Keybored". When a user searches for "Keybored foam modding", the autocorrect feature kicks in, changing the search term to "Keyboard foam modding". As a result, the videos from the "Keybored" channel fail to show up in the search results, making it seem as though the channel does not exist.

Frequency of the Bug The frequency of this bug is quite high, occurring every time a user searches for a specific term. This can be frustrating for content creators who rely on their unique name to attract and engage with their audience.

Steps to Reproduce the Bug To reproduce this bug, follow these steps:

  1. Open the PipePipe app on your device.
  2. Navigate to the subscription tab (or any other tab that has a search icon).
  3. Tap the search icon on the top-right corner of the screen.
  4. Enter the search term "Keybored foam modding" (or any other term that you suspect may be autocorrected).
  5. Observe as the search term is autocorrected to a different word (in this case, "Keyboard foam modding").
  6. Note that the videos from the original channel ("Keybored") fail to show up in the search results.

Device Information The device used to reproduce this bug is a OnePlus Nord N10.

Error Report Unfortunately, there is no error report available for this bug, as it is a software-related issue rather than a hardware-related one.

Additional Context This bug is particularly problematic for content creators who rely on their unique name to attract and engage with their audience. Puns and clever names are often used to stand out from the crowd, but in this case, they are being "pun-ished" by the autocorrect feature. Furthermore, there should be an option to force-use a specific search term, allowing users to bypass the autocorrect feature and access the content they are looking for.

Conclusion In conclusion, the bug in question is a significant issue that affects the user experience in the PipePipe app. The autocorrect feature, while intended to be helpful, can be overly aggressive and change the original search term to a completely different word. This can lead to the original channel being hidden from view, making it impossible for users to find and access their content. We hope that this issue will be addressed and resolved in future updates to the app.
