Is google charts stringFilter limited at 29 characters?

I've implemented a google charts table chart on a dashboard with a string filter. The filter is set on any and works fine. But when I search any Text longer than 30 characters (even if it is in the list itself) it won't return anything.

var filterMatText = new google.visualization.ControlWrapper({
            'controlType': 'StringFilter',
            'containerId': 'fullTableFilterMatText',
            'options': {
                'filterColumnLabel': 'Materialkurztext',
                'matchType': 'any',
                'width': '50',
                'height': '100%',
                'ui': {
                    'caption': 'Text suchen',
                    'labelStacking': 'vertical',
                    'label-sepaerator': 'true',
                },
            },

        });

Is the filter limited and can I increase this limit? It doesn't say in the documentation. And I am out of ideas.

Edit: It does not seem to be the length of the string, since the answer proved it. The String 1.4404 (316L) RPD HIFLO 15 S 850x380 does not work, only if I shorten it to 1.4404 (316L) RPD HIFLO 15 S . What might be wrong with that string?

Solution

  • As pointed out from WhiteHat there is no limit within 40+ characters. My problem came from having a string with two spaces right next to each other, which got replaced with a single space in the output of the table. But the filter goes through the source, resulting in the filter not matching.
