The problem is that when you autocomplete you may have lots of records
so search has to be done based on DB content. If you were to use
virtual fields (computed on the fly by web2py) the search would be
done client-side in memory. It would be faster but would not work for
large record sets.

Thanks Massimo, I can do that. Only slight issue is the computed
field physically takes space in the database.
I was a bit puzzled why a virtualfield would not work because I
thought it was introduced for precisely this kind of use.
