Search "as you type" search form

Is there a way to implement a search "as you type" search form? I know how to implement a standard seach form but am not sure how you would do a "as you type" search form.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Marty,
I'm not sure to well understand the question, but if i do this link could probably help you:

  • How can I disable "search as you type" in Finder windows?

    I have used OS X since it first came out and have upgraded to each version since then.  I am now on Lion.  I have endured "search as you type" for as long as it has been a "feature" and I must say that I am fed up with it, mainly because it slows me down.  It makes the computer "get in my way," which is the very anathema Steve Jobs sought to destroy with Apple.  My Mac should be a friendly tool that doesn't get in my way.  Most of the time it is, but not when it comes to Finder searches.
    Toward that end I wish to disable "search as you type" (or whatever the offical name for it is).  More specifically, I want to disable it in the search bar in the upper right corner of Finder windows. 
    I don't care about the Spotlight menu in the menubar, as I never use that and don't want to train myself to use it.  And I refuse to use an alternative search utility to Spotlight.  I want to use the search field in the upper right corner of Finder windows, AND NOTHING ELSE.  But at the same time, I want to kill "search as you type."  I want to be able to type as fast or slow as I like and have my computer not search for anything at all until I hit RETURN.  I don't want to argue about it.  That is the way I want it.  And again, I don't want to use a 3rd part utility, no matter how glorious some people may say they are because I stubbornly want to use the search bar atop every Finder window EXCLUSIVELY.
    Therefore, is there some Terminal hack to accomplish this feat?  If so, what is it?
    Many thanks for your time.  I look forward to hearing your solutions.

    Having posted the initial question more than 1 week ago now, I must say that I am quite shocked and dismayed that not a single experienced individual among us in these forums has the knowledge to even approach my question!  Not even a reply to say "it cannot be done"!  Forgive me for being brash.  But is everyone on vacation? Or does no one know?  Or is everyone truly apathetic toward the existing functionality?
    If our computers were so lightning  fast that "search as you type" was instantaneous (i.e., displayed results a 50ms or so, and faster than I could notice such that my fingers were not slowed down at all as I type), I wouldn't have taken time to write about this.  But I put forth the initial question because of the inherent slowness of "search as you type" and therefore I wish to know how one would go about disabling it on an OS level (i.e., without having to resort to a third party app).
    I look forward to your insightful replies!
    Thank you.

  • Does ECC 6.0 Provide a Search-as-you-type Enhancement for Sold-To Party Field?

    In our quest to continually simplify the creation of sales orders, I would like to know if SAP has provided any way to simplify the search and entry of the customer sold-to or ship-to party.  What I am looking for is a way to enter the customer's name (or other customer search criteria such as city) in a single field and have it search-as-you-type.  This is also known as instant search, auto-complete and auto-suggestion.
    We would like to eliminate the clicks it takes to use the standard F4 search help.
    One of our internal developers has created a web-based (.NET) application that brings in SAP data for writing sales orders for a specific segment of our business.  This tool allows you to find the ship-to party by typing in the customer's state, city, zip, address or name in the Ship-To field.  The instant search feature narrow's the list down as you type.  What he has done is written SQL to concatenate the customer name, customer number and address information, and then provided a search-as-you-type feature on top of this.
    Fictious Example of concatenated data (State, City, Customer Name, Address, Zip, SAP Customer Number):
    WA Seattle, Home Depot, 11616 Aurora Ave N, 98133, 18394978
    Typing any of the above information in the field will search for matches and bring back results as you type.
    I would like to know if ECC 6.0 has any similar feature that can be used in VA01 to accomplish the same thing.
    Thank you.

    I don't have access to the code our developer used but again, I am referring to a .NET browser-based application.  We extract a subset of SAP data using Attunity (say, every hour) and the SAP data is stored in a separate SQL Server database.  This database is used by a few browser-based applications we have developed.  For example, we have an application that allows external customers or internal employees the ability to look-up the status of an order.  The first thing you enter is the customer.  In some cases, this may be the Ship-To.  In other cases, the Sold-To.  The user can simply enter some part of the customer and records are searched for a match, as you type.  In our case, the lookup is occurring in SQL Server, not directly in SAP.  The developer took a simple approach of using some SQL query magic (it may be in a SQL Server Stored Procedure), to concatenate the relevant customer information that most people use to lookup a customer - Customer Name, Address, Customer Number.  So as you type, this entire concatenated string is searched and the list of potential "hits" is narrowed as you type.
    The paradigm is similar to Google's Search as you type (SayT), which you can read about here:
    http://www.theverge.com/2012/7/11/3152186/google-search-as-you-type-instant-results-merchants
    http://code.google.com/p/search-as-you-type/
    Or auto-complete: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/106230
    This is nothing new in the web commerce world.
    I was told by an SAP rep that there might be an enhancement in SAP ECC (SAPGUI Desktop) that could do something similar.  However, I never heard back from him and was wondering if anyone else had heard of something.
    This is another example of how it seems SAP has fallen behind in their UI and search capabilities; and they need to catch-up.  For those of us that have used SAP for many years, F4 seems straight forward and we sometimes don't understand why so many users don't also find it simple.  The answer is, other vendors have made it more simple and with the consumerization of apps, SAP needs to get there.

  • Search-as-you-type feature

    then whenever the start of the column data matches the text entered in text field then
    that row is selected.

    in textbox , if available in grid should move right on top & that shoud keep happening...the problem is

  • TextInput - search as you type

    hello all,
    Does anyone know of a TextInput component that drops down a scrollable vertical menu of search results as you type? 
    Similar to Google's homepage where as you type a dropdown appears below the text field with matching results.
    cheers

  • High Level Bin Search, before Storage Type Search

    Hi,
    Can anyone help me to guide, which user Exit/Badi, be used for searching Empty bins, before storage type search. I come to know from one of colleague below message.
    "" if you want to check the quantities on a higher level (before storage type search ), you can use the user exit "+++".""
    I am unable to understand which kind of user exit "+++".
    Background: Want to do putaway with storage type 007: Our high rack is  having space (Bins) with different capacity. One rack can have 4 type of racks.
    We want to putaway material with different bin types in one storage type.
    Regards,
    Mainsh Gupta

    Hi Vijay,
    Thanks for your quick reply. I am trying user exit given by you. Once again I would like to submit my requirements here.
    a) We have 98 racks in Warehouse.
    b) Product is Ball Bearing.
    c) Bearings are handeled in Ea, Issue and Stock unit is Ea
    d) Alternate Unit of Measure is Box, i.e. per box quantity is mentioned into Material Master.
    e) Each Rack is having 5 different type of bins.
    f) We want to fill rack from bottom to top for first rack, and then next rack.
    g) Once we do putaway for any material, each time system should pick Next empty bin, and each bin type is different.
    Case 1) If going with Storage Type 007: 
                    i) Need to maintain palletization data in Material master WM view 2.
                   ii) Can not maintain any capacity check for Capacity utilization in Material Master. Capacity is only Pallatization data.
                  iii) While creating TO, System goes for placemet of material from bottom to Top in Rack, but give similar quantity for each bin,  &  these quantities are defined from Material Master from Palletization data.
                  iv) In this case it is not checking bin capacity.
    My query:
    i)  How can we split quantity during TO Creation based on Next Empty Bin avaialbe with certain capacity and all further bins with other capacity.
    ii) Can we have different type of bins in one storage type if we are going for Storage type 007. or it is mandatory to have similar kind of bins.
    Case 2) If going for Storage type 002:
                  i) Not maintined Palletiztaion data in Material master.
                 ii) Maintining capacity check in WM View 1.
                iii) Maintained Capacity check in Bin master.
                iv) WHile careting TO , system doesnot spilt quantity for next empty bins avaialbe, Only one line item comes for whole quantities. and system throw an error.
    Message Number: Message no. L3068
    Message Details: Maximum quantity for storage bin TR-15 will be exceeded by 740.000 PC
    My query: How can we split TO quantity as per next empty bins available.
    If you will give me your contact number, I can speak to you over phone and eleborate in more details for your clear understanding my issue.
    Regards,
    Manish

  • Disabling Spotlight menu's "live" search-as-you-type feature

    I do not like that Spotlight begins a search before I have finished telling it what to find. The "live" searching is slow and generally annoying. How do I prohibit Spotlight from executing a new or revised search with every new character typed?
    This has been bugging me since Tiger. I have scoured the web for a solution, but I have found only ways to deal with the problem--not solve it. I could use LaserLight or simply type the search query into any other text field and then copy/paste it into the Spotlight search field. Or I could use a different application entirely to do my searching.
    Suggestions?

  • The browser search where you type in a website is missing.

    I reinstalled firefox on my moms laptop to see if that would fix the problem but its the same thing. top left corner there is file, edit, view, history, booknarks, tools, help but nowhere to type in web addresses. Set homepage to google and that thankfully works but there is nowhere to type in other adrresses. This is extremely frustrating.

    Note that you should be able to bring up a location bar replacement via Ctrl+L when the location bar isn't visible.
    Can you attach a screenshot of how you currently see the Firefox user interface?

  • Does firefox 4 have the 'feeling lucky' google search feature when you type phrases into the URL bar? ATM it goes to google where i then have to click on website.

    if i type simply phrases in to the URL bar (i,e bbc) it use to take me directly to www.bbc.co.uk. but now in firefox 4, it seems to go to google.co.uk instead displaying all the searched items. I then have to click on the link i want.
    Is there any way of enabling this?

    The change between Firefox 3.6.* and Firefox 4 is how location bar search works. In Firefox 3.6 it uses Google "Browse by name" search. With the browse by name search, it performs a Google search and if there is a clear match it will take you to the site, otherwise it shows the Google search result. With Firefox 4 it just performs a Google search if you type something which is not recognised as a URL.
    To get the Firefox 3.6 behaviour on Firefox 4 you need to change a hidden preference.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''keyword.URL''', double-click on it and change its value to the link shown below

  • ITunes quick search/find as you type

    hi...
    since a few months i'm missing the following feature:
    typing one or more characters in the artist or song column to jump directly to the artist or song starting with the character being typed
    in some applications like "finder" this feature is called "find as you type" oder "quick search"
    i found nothing in the internet or someone else having the same problem like me.
    a reinstallation brought no effect...
    i would be glad getting it solved.
    thank you very much

    Can I make a drop down allow multiple keystrokes as it narrows its selection?
    This is not "easy" in the context of a Web application. It is not specific to Apex, it needs heavy client-side DHTML scripting and also the "Ajax" framework to dynamically query the server for data.
    The discussion at Yahoo AutoComplete widget talks about this.
    Hope this helps.

  • "Just Type" "Search Using" Automatically adds websites you have visited that have search capabilities.

    Is there any way to turn off this functionality or at least clean up the list?  I have been to so many websites that have the search and this list is huge!  I have searched every where and cannot find out how to clean it. 
    I would invoke the "chat" with HP support but I know they cannot handle this.  The last 3 times I "chatted" they gave incorrect information. 
    I did report feedback to request the function.
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    Once again as I explained in the previous posting all you have to do is follow these steps to stop searching on sites or apps that you do not want to search on.
    Tap on the Just Type search bar, tap on the Just Type menu in the top left corner of the screen, then uncheck any item or turn off any section you want to, to customize your searches. This will stop the search on any URL's or apps that you uncheck or turn off.
    As far as a search list clean up there is currently no way to remove items from the search list, only choose to search or not search on them.
