The original implementation when searching for workouts require an exact match when typing a workout name and does not automatically select the most relevant workout.
The following demos showcase the improvements made to the original implementation:
| Description | Original Implementation vs Enhanced Search |
|---|---|
| Enabling out-of-order and partial word search | search-exact-match.mp4 |
| Automatically selecting workouts by it's relevancy | search-relevant-select.mp4 |
| Improved search for diacritics and special characters | search-normalized.mp4search-ignore-special.mp4 |
Finding the most relevant workout exercise can be difficult within Garmin Connect, as there could be many different names for the same workout and the exercise list from Garmin may only have one of those variants.
When searching for workouts, this enhancement allows the ability to find workouts that target specific muscle groups, find workouts that primarily or secondarily target a specific muscle group or exclude the muscle group entirely.
While searching for a specific exercise, a preview window displays the exercise's targeted muscle groups and whether it's a primary or secondary target.

Perfect for when your workout has one type of exercise or if you are performing supersets. When selecting an exercise, an option is added to apply the exercise to all the other sets, sets that precede the current set, every other set, and more.

When using your Garmin watch to predict the exercise name, it may select a bodyweight exercise even when you select a weight for your set. An unfortunate consequence of this, is when you edit and save the exercise, you may lose the weight you manually set for the exercise.
This fix ensures that when modifying any exercise, the previously entered weight will always persist and not disappear back to bodyweight when saving.
