The Slow Search
The product search works correctly and returns accurate results
The bug report
You get the whole project — a React front end, an Express API, and Mongoose models — opened in a browser editor. Reproduce the symptom by reading the code, change what’s wrong, and run the hidden tests to prove it.
What the fix must prove
- indexes the product name for search
- resolves sellers without one query per result
- answers a full catalog search quickly
- matches products by name accurately
- keeps archived products out of search results
