5. open new tab
6. go to hospital run url

Anybody working on this issue? I do have a suggestion regarding search, it's kinda hard to tell what you are searching for. It would be better if the search bar is move from the side bar to the main view pages.

@dinhvle I am not working on this but we could now use pouchdb-find

@dinhvle I have just started on it, I like both suggestions

@mnorbeck does this apply for all the records, offline created records, or the synced record only ? I a asking because I am not able to exactly reproduce

@wolfieorama the issue is that currently the app tries to call /search/hrdb/ which cannot be reached while offline. The bulk of the offline support is currently contained in our serviceworker code at /app/serviceworkers/pouchdb-sync. The solution would be to add an intercept in /app/serviceworkers/pouchdb-sync for the server route /search/hrdb/ that tries to make the call server side and if that fails, it should either perform a "slow search" via a temp view like we do here: https://github.com/HospitalRun/hospitalrun-server-routes/blob/master/routes/20-searchproxy.js or use pouchdb-find as @broerse mentioned. In order to use pouchdb-find, the proper indexes would need to be built.

This issue was incorrectly labeled as being LOE: 1 day, but unfortunately this is a little more complicated that what can be done in a day.
