Is there a type-ahead feature

I would like user to be able to start typing on a field tied to LOV and have the LOV narrowed as typing occurs. Is this possible?
for example
and LOV contains
Red
Blue
Blonde
Ruby
the user types 'B' and the list narrows to:
Blue
Butter
user types 'L' and field is automatically populated with BLUE.
Now, it interprets the list to narrow to L% instead of BL%
thanks

Karen,
Yes it's possible! I think Carl or Patrick have a working example for this one...
You want to populate the LOV with AJAX. (search the forum for how to...plenty of post)
the query returning your data will hava a where clause similar to this
SELECT col01 d, col02 r
FROM tab01 a
WHERE instr(col01, :PX_ITEM_LOV) = 1
OR :PX_ITEM_LOV is null
n.b. make sure not to refresh the LOV on every key press, wait for half-second before refreshing the LOV in case the user might wanna enter more then 1 letter at a time

How to disable type ahead feature?

Is there a way to disable the type ahead feature?
It's annoying to constantly have to pause typing while the app retrives a table list, field list, or anticipated keyword list.

Multi languages support of ComboBox type ahead feature

Hi
From Flex 3 livedocs (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=dpcontrols_5.html):
In its editable state, the user can type text directly into the top of the list, or select one of the preset values from the list. In its noneditable state, as the user types a letter, the drop-down list opens and scrolls to the value that most closely matches the one being entered; matching is only performed on the first letter that the user types.
Flex combo-box indeed supports that type ahead for first letter - in English.
e.g. for the combo box with the following list of items: {"apple","banana","orange"}, when the combo is focused and user is typing 'b' - "banana" will be selected.
when I tried with other languages (i.e. russian) - it doesn't work...
any ideas?
thanks

Thanks for you reply.
how can I combine both dataProvider and List in ActionScript to a single comboBox?

Is there an "insert all links" type of feature or add-on for Firefox that works with Thunderbird?

Hello Firefoxies,
Is there an "insert all links" type of feature or add-on for Firefox that works with Thunderbird or any email app? I want to be able to insert all the links from a Firefox bookmarks folder automatically in to an outgoing email and include the names that I have given to those saved links / bookmarks.
I searched for this add-on on the Firefox and the Thunderbird sites, but I don’t think the one that I found is for what I am thinking of.
What I would like to do is to be able to add all the links in a saved tabs folder, or any bookmarks folder, from Firefox in to the body of an outgoing email preferably in Thunderbird, or any email app... so I could just click and all the links and hopefully all the names that I have given to those links will then appear in the body of an outgoing email automatically, ready for me to then write what I want, plug in an address, and send.
When I did a search of add-ons on the Firefox and Thunderbird sites, I found something called “Open all links 0.3.1” on the Thunderbird site that I think is for the opposite of my description... I think this add-on is to automatically open all the links in an email that is received... '''which IS NOT what I want to do'''... I want to place all the links that I have in a Firefox bookmarks folder in to an outgoing email... the URL to the “Open all links 0.3.1” add-on is below for you to look at just in case I am reading this wrong...
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/2913/
Otherwise, I could not find any add-on that fits my description.
Thanks so much,

Endeca Type Ahead Search

Hi,
We are working on ATG 10.2 with Endeca 3.1.2 integration and are exploring different ways of type ahead searches. The required functionality is to achieve similar suggestions like google search from the catalog data. The Endeca Experience Manager out of box has cartridges which query dimension search for this feature, apart from these do we have any other endeca specific APIs to achieve the same functionality.

Hi,
The following links might help you.

How to implement type-ahead for search

Hi there,
I would like to have type-ahead for my endeca. e.g. if user clicks on search box and type"g", it should show all items starts with g.
How can I do that? I have only three dimensions : PRIRCERANGE, category and flex. And I have 3 properties: description, color, price, uom, sku etc.

Endeca exposes webservice that can be accessed by xquery library provided by endeca. You can write your own xquery module to fetch dimension query result, format and use as a output to type-ahead.
Refer below xquery guide to get more details about developing
your own xquery module,

Is Type Ahead search available in OOTB CRS

After setting up OOTB CRS, I noticed that there is a search project visible in BCC called SearchSuggestions and also type-ahead files for the different sites of CRS have got generated in the 'auxilliary data' folder under localconfig. Does this mean the code required to generate type-ahead xmls is already present in CRS ? I could not find it in the documentation. Since I am planning to implement this in my project, any pointer to the CRS code will be appreciated.

For an issue with Glims, better to ask the developers of the software.

Is there any type of network compression for sql

I have a user trying to spool a select statement that is close to a 2 gig text file when its done..
the statement runs in 3 minutes when run on a sql client connected to a 1gig full duplex network..
but when connected to a 100Mb/half duplex network it takes 7 hours..
the obvious fix would be to upgrade the clients network.. but thats not my call.. and isn't going to happen..
I've offered to schedule it local, zip it, and send the zip.. but they don't want that..
is there any type of compression setting that could be specified..

I don't believe there is to be honest, but I haven't poured through all the documentation. This may be beneficial however: [Configuring Session Data Unit|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/network.102/b14212/performance.htm#sthref1395]

How can I restore "type ahead" Search suggestions?

Back in the good old days of Safari 3 (and 4?) it had a useful trick of auto-completing phrases as you started typing in the Google Search field. It stopped working in Safari 5, so I was directed to Glims for Safari, which worked great.
Up until last week, although the Links part of Glims didn't work, the Search Words (i.e. type ahead) did work so I was happy enough. Now it's stopped. I download the latest Glims and now I have the Links working, but not the type ahead Search Words!
In Safari I've changed my New Tab default page from Top Sites to Google UK Home page instead. This loads much quicker than Top Sites and the cursor is in the Search field. Typing anything brings "type ahead search suggestions".
Is this my only option? Anyone know why Glims should suddenly stop doing what it used to?

Dynamic parameter with 'type-ahead' capability

Hi,
How do I create a dynamic parameter that will return a drop down list of over 11,000 records in alphabetic order that I can then select the value I want by starting to type in the value. For example, in a list of cities of the world I want to select 'London' so I type in an 'L' and the list moves to the first city starting with an 'L', I then type an 'o' and the list goes to 'Lo' etc.
At the moment only 30 values appear in the drop-down list and I can only enter the first letter.
I want to use this value as the parent for a cascading parameter.
Thanks, Colin

The dynamic parameter does not have the functionality to 'type-ahead' and go to specific values in the list in that manner. The most you can do is go to values that start with a specific letter and scroll through them. This behavior is occurring by design.
By default, Crystal Reports will only return the first 1000 unique values for a dynamic parameter. This can be changed through a registry entry.
For information on changing the values retrieved for the dynamic parameter, you can refer to the following Business Objects Note.
- Go to this link
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/advancedsearch?cat=sdn_ossnotes&query=&adv=true
- Search for the Note: 1218588
When using a dynamic parameter, the limit will be a combination of all the values return at each level to reach the total number of records returned. Also the more records that you return to the dynamic parameter, the longer it will take to retrieve the data from the database.

Type ahead function in the implict list

Dear Experts,
I wonder if type ahead function can be added to search implicit list. I have looked for some info but it seems to me that it is not that simple. What I am looking for the same functionality as in the phone book. Any experiecence?
Many thanks,
seyyah

Your best bet is to do it manually; draw the list yourself and intercept keypresses, interpreting them as required. You're right, it's not that simple!

Implementation of type-ahead functionality in Endeca JSP Ref application

Hi all,
I am trying to implement the type-ahead functionality in Endeca jsp reference application which Oracle is shipping with it's products. The type-ahead functionality is not present by default. Can anyone help me to implement the same thing or provide sample code/strategy to achieve the desired results ?
Basically typeahead functionality is present in Endeca Information's quick start's search box (EID) but not it JSP reference application .
Waiting for the replies...
Regards,
Hoque

Type-ahead functionality can mean different things and be implemented in different ways. It is usually based on what behavior your user-space would benefit from.
In the commerce space, one popular use-case is to return Category matches based on what a user has started typing. Within Endeca, this boils down to doing a dimension search and having the Category dimension enabled for dimension search. If a user starts typing "cam", the type-ahead would then recommend:
Category: Cameras
You can match on multiple dimensions though, so long as they are enabled for dimension search. For example, if a user starts typing "ca", the type-ahead could return:
Category: Cameras
Brand: Canon
Furthermore, this behavior can be extended by enabling Compound Dimension Search. Compound Dimension Search is enabled via a flag on the dgidx process and on your ENEQuery. It provides the following behavior. If a user searches for "canon cam", it would suggest:
Category: Cameras + Brand: Canon
Clicking on the type-ahead would return the intersection of Category = Cameras and Brand = Canon, eliminating a click if the user is after Canon brand Cameras.
With regards to implementation, it basically boils down to an AJAX call to a service/URL that responds with dimension search results. Then populate an empty <div> with links.
Other scenarios involve returning Product/Record matches instead of Dimension matches.

Type ahead in drop down lists

Hi, I would like to be able to type ahead in drop down lists. E.g. with an alphabetical drop down list having
Scott
Sean
Soo
Steven
I would like to be able to position within that drop down list by typing e.g. st and land upon steven, however when I key in st, I find myself at the top of the entries in the drop down list starting with t.
Any ideas? Something I overlooked?
Best regards, Jesper

Jesper,
I admit that I don't fully understand how it all works, but I'll explain the general steps I took to get it working. Hopefully some of the smart people here can show us a better way to do it.
I don't think that I should post the actual javascript file because the first line of it says:
"// Copyright 2004 and onwards Google Inc."
But, you can get the original version of it here: http://www.google.com/ac.js
If you save it and a copy of the page that calls it on your local web server, you can play around with it.
It looks like a real mess. This guy has dissected it: http://serversideguy.blogspot.com/2004/12/google-suggest-dissected.html
From all that, you can see that the end result is that the script calls a URL like this, with your query at the end:
http://www.google.com/complete/search?hl=en&js=true&qu=transparent%20aluminu
Which returns a result like this:
sendRPCDone(frameElement, "transparent aluminu", new Array("transparent aluminum", "transparent aluminum 3m"), new Array("426,000 results", "31,900 results"), new Array(""));
The script can be edited to call any URL. I changed it to call a stored procedure on my HTML DB web server. The changes were:
Line 3: Change pn="search" to pn="schema.package.procedureName"
Line 14: Change else E="/complete/" to E="/pls/htmldb/" (The Location entry set in your Marvel.conf)
You then need to create a stored procedure that will be called from Line 3.
It needs to have 3 varchar2 parameters called qu, hl, and js. The first one is the query string. I didn't use the other two.
It needs to return a message like the script is expecting - with the results concatenated in comma-separated arrays. Here is a simple example:
create procedure INCSEARCH(qu varchar2, hl varchar2, js varchar2) as
l_List1 varchar2(4000);
l_Query varchar2(255);
l_separator varchar2(10) default '';
begin
l_Query := qu || '%';
for x in (select Last_Name from hr.Employees where Upper(Last_Name) like Upper(l_Query) order by 1)
loop
l_list1 := l_List1 || l_separator || '"' || x.Last_Name || '"';
l_separator := ',';
end loop;
owa_util.mime_header('text/html', false);
owa_util.http_header_close;
htp.p('sendRPCDone(frameElement, "'|| qu ||'", new Array(' || l_List1 || '), new Array(' || l_List1 || '), new Array(""));');
end;
Grant Execute on INCSEARCH to Public;
The last step is to hook it into HTML DB. Examining the Google page shows that they run a script called InstallDC to hook the script to a form field.
In the Footer section of the Page Attributes of my page, I added this:
<SCRIPT src="/ac.js"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT>InstallAC(document.wwv_flow,document.wwv_flow.p_t03,document.wwv_flow.p_t03,"dc_htmldb.incsearch","en");</SCRIPT>
Where p_t03 is the name of the text field I want it attached to, and "dc_htmldb.incs.incsearch" is my stored procedure.
Those are the basic steps. Does anyone have a cleaner approach?

It appears that iPad does not retain information from prior years - appointments, etc. Valuable info is lost unless there is an archive feature that I cannot find.

It appears that the iPad, and also the iPhone do not retain information for prior years, such as appointments, etc. Unless there is an archive feature, which I have not found, valuable information is lost. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you so much to JimHdk. A really simple solution, but I guess I am not totally familiar with my iPad. I have a high learning curve with my iPhone also.
