Parameter-Select autocomplete doesn't find correct value; expected value is substring of autofill-results

[jsuesse]

Setup

• NeoDash version: 2.1.2
• Neo4j Database version: 4.4.8 (Community.

Somewhat related issues:

#50 was fixed by allowing manual editing of property-name
This could be solved by allowing manual entering of property-value

Steps to reproduce

• use a parameter-select card
• set label and property
• Want to select a string e.g. zoo
• a node with exact match where node.property="zoo" exists!

Expected behavior

results show exact match first, it can be selected.

Actual behavior

• results that contain that substring, but come before it in the alphabet are shown first.
• zoo can't be selected
  results:

alabama_zoo
best_zoo
example_zoo
fantastic_zoo
great_zoo

See image: Blue-Boxes are the same string

It seems that the results are determined by checking if string contains substring, then sorting these results.
Instead, exact matches should appear first in list.

Workaround

Use Free-Text-Select. Selection of any value is possible there.

Thanks for considering. Have a great day!

Propose fix:

In /src/card/settings/custom/CardSettingsContentPropertySelect.tsx insert ORDER BY size(value) ASC into line 95 and line 98.

example for line 95:
change from

const newQuery = "MATCH (n:`" + entityType + "`) \nWHERE toLower(toString(n.`" + propertyType + "`)) CONTAINS toLower($input) \nRETURN DISTINCT n.`" + propertyType + "` as value LIMIT 5";

to

const newQuery = "MATCH (n:`" + entityType + "`) \nWHERE toLower(toString(n.`" + propertyType + "`)) CONTAINS toLower($input) \nRETURN DISTINCT n.`" + propertyType + "` as value ORDER BY size(value) ASC LIMIT 5";

Might create a proper PR when I find time.
