Does anyone know how to make the main search display a drop-down list of possibilities? This has been a sore for our salespeople for a while now and I cannot figure it out.
Thank you in advance!
Do you simply need the search to suggest words, or would you wish record results to show?
You can implement autocomplete on search forms with jQuery UI, but this would not reflect/return suggestions based on data in the CRM.
Thanks,

I would like records, so if I type ‘hardware’ I get a list as
Someone’s Hardware Store
Hardware Something
Something Hardware
Quote on Hardware
This would be a substantial change, you could utilise the jQuery UI autocomplete but you would have to make calls to the db and display the data. You should place this in the suggestion box for future releases.
Thanks,

I would be Ok with a ‘hacky’ patch for my local system, could you suggest a place to start?
I would suggest utilising the jQuery autocomplete, you would then need to write code that accessed the database and queried all data. to find a match. It would need to be a wildcard search i.e. %searchterm%
I’m not a programmer, so I do not understand the architecture enough to give you exact files to change and code to construct.
Thanks,
Will.
