Request: Autocomplete in Search Box

It would be very useful autocomplete feature in search box. Like firefox has.

Why it will autocomplete with your previous searches, those on Mac have enjoyed similar functionality with a little program called Inquisitor. Perhaps a flood of emails to the creator [email protected] kindly asking if he would make a Windows version would bring this wonderful tool to all us Mac users stuck on Windows at work

autocomplete in the search box dropdown fails in new version 5

I did as you suggested, although after I clicked "manage Search Engines" there was no Show search suggestions to be clicked on that Window. If I then clicked on Search there was an option to select "Suggest searches as type" and "Automatically search when you select from the drop down list".
Both of these options were already selected so it's still not working.
This first happened in Firefox 4. it's still has not been resolved.

Rounded toolbar Search box in WebHelp?

The powers that be want a help facelift... One request is a search box with round ends. Preferably with the Search button inside the box, much like what Apple does in Safari etc.
Any hints on what file(s) to edit and how?
A ready made piece of code with instructions on where to put it would be great, but I'll appreciate any input (including "It'll be a pain, don't even try").
*** I'm working on RoboHelp 7, on XP. The help needs to work on Windows and Mac. ***

Hi,
Yes it can be done, and yes it'll be a pain. Whether it's worth your trouble is up to you. You'll need to know at least some CSS and JavaScript. You can only do this in the output files, so you'll have to past the modified output files into your output every time you make a new version of the help.
The following article is quite helpful: http://www.picment.com/articles/css/funwithforms/
You have an extra layer of complexity because the search form is created with javascript. (In the top bar as well as in the sidebar.) The form in the sidebar is build in whfform.htm. Target the input box with 'input' or 'input.inputfield'. The button is an image with a hyperlink. The standard id of the image is 'go'.
The form in the top bar is build in whskin_tbars.htm and (mostly) whtbar.js.
Hope this gets you started. The easiest is just to make all your clients use Safari

Sharepoint 2010 searchbox class name ="ms-sbplain"
what is Sharepoint 2013 searchbox class name ?? i added "ms-textLarge" as class name but it didn't work.
Thanks in advance.

Hi M.M,
The class for SharePoint 2013 Search box input element is as follow, please check if it is what you want.
class="ms-textLarge ms-srch-sbLarge-fullWidth ms-srch-sb-prompt ms-helperText"
The project code you are using is updated in codeplex, and the query suggestions (similar to this autocomplete) is an OOB feature in SharePoint 2013 enterprise verison, you can take a look.

Is it possible to have one search box search many fields? ( and "autocomplete" the results)?

I'm really new to the whole area of JSON, autocomplete and javascript. My first project in this area is personal: making it easier to search for wines in my wine cellar.
I have all my wines in a sqlite database (driven by CF 9 of course) and have a nice UI to report on, add, modify, delete, etc. What I want to add is a search capability that works like this: a user types text in a search box in any order they want and automagically, the wine is found.
To be specific, a user could start with "2005 Caymus" and the area below the text search box would be populated with all of the varietals of Caymus for 2005 that are in the cellar. Similarly the user might start the search by typing "2005 Cabernet" in which case anything in the cellar that is from 2005 and a Cabernet Sauvignon or a Cabernet Franc from all wineries would appear below the text box. Or maybe they just want to see what French wines are in the cellar, so they'd start their search with "France" or "French". (BTW, winery, vintage, wine type (varietal), country, appellation, etc. are all separate fields in the database/table.)
Is my imagined search capability possible, or does each aspect of the search (year, winery, wine type/varietal) have to be user-entered into a separate text box?
Any guidance/answers greatly appreciated! If you're local, might even be worth sharing a vintage bottle of wine!

Sorry I was unclear.
Google is a single text box. If you type "coldfusion 9 new features"
you get a good listing of your results without having one box for
software one for version one for descriptor and
one for topic . Similarly with Google it's likely you'll get
somewhat similar results typing in "new features coldfusion 9" or
"coldfusion 9 features". So for my wine app I just want to present the
user with one box so they can type in "Caymus 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon"
(a "specific" search) or "2005" (a search for all wines from that year),
etc. It's the cleanness of the user experience I'm trying to
accommodate here. Make sense?

When using Google Toolbar, and I begin entering a search term, several complete choices appear, but when I click on one of them, autocomplete does not fill in the search box.

Why does the complete suggested search term not appear in the search box when I click on it?

Probably caused by search redirect Malware.

Autocomplete in google search box fails in new version 4

when typing a search term in the google box, the suggested completions appear, but will not be clicked into the search box.
What can I do?

This is a big one guys, good thing this is a BETA release, eh? I hope this bug fix is deployed before the hard launch, because man is it a pothole for efficiency.
I'm liking 4.0 on the whole though, Firefox is still the best option for my $ :)

How to create custom search box will allow up to 60 alphanumericcharacters & User can input a minimum of 1 character and the system will pull back an exact match on the sequence entered.

Hi,
Can anyone please help me in creating the Custom Search box with below mentioned functionality
"The search box will allow up to 60 alphanumeric characters.User can input a minimum of 1 character and the system will pull back an exact match on the sequence entered"

Hi Pradeep,
Find the complete JQuery AutoComplete function with along with different events in it like focus, select, open and close. You can modify this code as per your requirement.
$("#ddlSearchTextBox").autocomplete({
source: function (request, response) {
var getUrl = "<site URL>";
$.ajax({
url: getUrl,
type: "GET",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
data: {
featureClass: "P",
style: "full",
maxRows: 10
dataFilter: function (data, type) {
return data.replace(/\\'/g, "'");
success: function (data) {
response($.map(data.d, function (result) {
return {
label: result.Last_Name + ", " + result.First_Name,
value: result.id
focus: function (event, ui) {
$("#ddlSearchTextBox").val(ui.item.label);
return false;
minLength: 1,
select: function (event, ui) {
$("#ddlSearchTextBox").val(ui.item.label);
return false;
open: function () {
$("#ddlSearchTextBox").removeClass("ui-corner-all").addClass("ui-corner-top");
close: function () {
$("#ddlSearchTextBox").removeClass("ui-corner-top").addClass("ui-corner-all");
Let us know if you need any further.

Logical AND not working in the forum search box

Logical AND of search terms does not seem to be working in the MSDN forum search box. Example: I go to the Project Customization and Program forum and type the word
subproject
in the search box. I get a lot of hits. So now I try to reduce the number of hits by typing
subproject AND read
Surprisingly, I now get MORE hits than before. The same thing happens if I enter
subproject & read
Do the MSDN forums not support the standard logical AND combinations of search terms? If they do support these combinations, what is the syntax?

How to get rid of the stupid drop down box in the search box

Thank-you for the help. I am not sure if I put this is the right spot or not, but I wanted to take the time to say thank-you to the people who answered :
"Chosen solution
If you want to restore the previously used standalone window to manage search engines then you can toggle this pref to false with a middle-click on the about:config page.
about:config page: browser.search.showOneOffButtons = false
Close and restart Firefox to the change effective. "
I LOVE Firefox but it is so frustrating when I can't just right click and "paste and search"
i have to do A LOT of searching for work and I had to switch to chrome for a few days until I found this solution because the new search box messed with our internal software (sorry I would tell you more but I don't really understand computers that much, but I am so glad to have my old friendly fox back!!!)... Thanks guys, Brit

thanks for the feedback - since your question doesn't really contain any other request for support, i'm going to close the thread...

How do I get back the functionality for the alphabetical drop down from my previous searches in the center Google search box of the Mozilla Firefox Start Page?

In the afternoon of August 24 I lost a feature on my Mozilla Firefox Start Page and I cannot figure out how to get it back. It concerns the Google Search area in the MIDDLE of the page. Previously, when I would want to do a search, for example Amazon, I would type the letter 'A' and, because I had typed 'Amazon' in that Search box before, an alphabetical drop-down menu would come up with 'Amazon' in it. I could then click on that word without having to type the rest of it. That option is no longer working.
I had done an Adobe Reader update that Friday morning, so I thought that might be why this happened,. I did a System Restore and took the system back to Tuesday, August 21. That did not help.
I ran CCleaner and cleaned the Registry also. Interestingly enough, I found that right after I do that and then open a Mozilla Firefox Start Page, the alphabetical drop down function is back in the center Search bar for one time, one search. After that it is gone again. I go in and do just CCleaner (no Registry cleaning required) and the same thing happens...the functionality is there for one search only.
I went in and made sure all my Add-ons/Plug-ins are up to date. I also ran a full system scan but no issues came up.
I am computer illiterate, so please bear with me. I have no idea if any of the things I tried would have helped or not.
I have Windows 7 and Firefox 15.0.1
I appreciate any help you can provide.

*Tools > Options > Privacy > History: "Remember search and form history"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Form+autocomplete
The "Use custom settings for history" setting allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting that setting doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings. 
Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made. 
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".

Is there a way to search several keywords at a time on the top right search box?

Hello.
Let's say I want all the images to appear that have any of these keywords: "sky, mountain, water". The only way I have figured out it takes too long and it's tedious. I open the "find" window and manually add search variables to look for several keywords and file names for the values that I am looking for.
Isn't there a way to search for files that have any of the keywords I write on the search box by dividing these keywords with commas or any other puntuation? Or am I stuck opening the "find" window and add rows of variables that I want to search?

I really do hope you are part of the development team for the Bridge.
If only…
I'm just a user like you and almost all other participants. Steve (SG) is one of the very helpful Adobe Engineers who occasionally hang around every now and then but they do so out of personal interest and kindness. They also try to be a shortcut to the Bridge engineers, it is no company policy to interact directly with developers on this user to user forum...
But if I was responsible for resources for the Bridge development team they already would have had loads of money to realize my perfect Bridge and this process would have started from CS3 and above…. but as said, I'm just a humble photographer with no knowledge at all in programming applications and by far not enough money to realize this dream app
Regarding your Find comments, I do realize there are some extra actions needed and the less you can make the better it would be. However as said, I don't know of any DAM application capable of what you want.
It is kind of looking into a database and that needs separate criteria to my knowledge. If I had to use the search function that much I would look for a dedicated Digital Asset Manager to do this tasks.
I'm not very deep in to knowledge about DAM but I use Canto Cumulus Single user for my Archive which is much faster then Bridge (Bridge is much better in other tasks so I need both).
In Canto you can create a query to customize your own search needs in a better way but this needs some extra knowledge and study, I have only 65 K of files in my archive and searching is not that difficult using the normal route of quick find.
And to comfort you a little, both Bridge and Canto do reopen the find menu with the last settings which is still not ideal but saves a bit of moves. Having the option to save templates like in batch rename would be a big plus but it is not an option yet.
And of course, you can also put in a feature request for this:

RE: Firefox search box - manage search engines - get more search engines.. IT DOESN'T WORK , I now get 1000's of useless irrelevant results, PLEASE FIX THE SITES SEARCH NOW, IT'S COMPLETELY USELESS NOW

RE: Firefox search box -> manage search engines -> get more search engines..
IT DOESN'T WORK
I just want to add youtube + some others to the list of sites in the Firefox search box, I now get 1000's of useless irrelevant results, PLEASE FIX THE SITES SEARCH NOW, IT'S COMPLETELY USELESS NOW

Hi Kvoter,
What are you hoping for, firefox to display lists of sites you have visited or bookmarked ?
*''' it should be able to do that'''
* my firefox does that
I am only a fellow ordinary user of Firefox & XP, but maybe the problem is on your machine, rather than needing a fix from firefox. If you take a little time to read this you may be able to sort out the problems yourself.
I hope you do not mind me covering a few basics:
* the [[Search bar]] { <-- clickable link -- ] is designed to produce a lot or results, whereas
*the [[Location bar search|Location Bar]] is a lot more specific and may be [[Location bar autocomplete#w_controlling-behavior|set]] to include or exclude History & or [[bookmarks]]
If you are getting literally 1000s of totally unrelated results you may need to consider [[Is my Firefox problem a result of malware]]
Hope to hear that you have solved the problem, or a bit more detail about what still is a problem.
John
