Suggest Values(Auto Fill) for code and description in WD ABAP

Question

Greetings everyone,
                 I have one ABAP webdynpro application which has to provide the auto fill (Suggest Values) option for one of the field for Eg:Material No.The requirement is the user will have only one field where he/she should be able to search the material either by its name or material number in the same field.Please let me know how we can achieve this.As of now i am able to search by material number using suggest values using my own custom search help.But how can i include the material description also as search option for the material number field.Any help will be appreciated.
Material No:[____________]      <- - -   i should be able to search both by material number and description in suggest values(Autofill)
Thanks,
Vignesh

Hi Thomas,
   You are right. I have exactly thought the same way and i implemented the code as well in the search help exit which will give my own search result to the searching criteria with both number and description. I have able to achieve this for one application and now i am able to search with both number and description in the same field.But when i am trying to get the same functionality for another field ,it is showing a auto fill values but only for code and not for description of the code.I have mentioned below the code i have written in the search help exit and i am passing the list to the source tab and getting the search help result in record_tab.When i test this from normal SAP GUI using F4 functionality it works perfect.But when i try to use this search help via Autofill(Suggest values) in WD ABAP,it is not working the same way what i want.I mean it only searches with the code but not with the description in teh autofill.
Any help will be appreciated.
