I don't use the built-in search capabilities of the grid. I like to code my own as shown here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/web2py/61R9vqCO_Xo

Takes a bit of coding, but works really well. -Jim On Wednesday, June 4, 2014 10:15:20 PM UTC-5, JoeCodeswell wrote: > > Alec Taylor said: "I know, but it could also help suggest possible values > to search for > details on in the grid ." > > I agree, Alec. +1 > > Love and peace, > > Joe > > > On Monday, May 27, 2013 8:36:25 PM UTC-7, Alec Taylor wrote: >> >> I know, but it could also help suggest possible values to search for >> details on in the grid >> >> On Tue, May 28, 2013 at 1:03 PM, Anthony <abas...@gmail.com> wrote: >> > The autocomplete widget is for when a field appears in a create or >> update >> > form -- it is used to help you fill in a value for the field. >> > >> > Anthony >> > >> > >> > On Monday, May 27, 2013 10:43:11 PM UTC-4, Alec Taylor wrote: >> >> >> >> I haven't been able to get this to work: >> >> >> >> # Models >> >> db.define_table('category',Field('name')) >> >> db.define_table('product',Field('name'),Field('category')) >> >> db.product.category.widget = SQLFORM.widgets.autocomplete(request, >> >> db.category.name, limitby=(0,10), min_length=2) >> >> >> >> # View >> >> {{= SQLFORM.grid(db.product) }} >> >> >> >> ---- >> >> >> >> How do I bind the search input box to the autocomplete widget? >> >> >> >> Thanks for all suggestions, >> >> >> >> Alec Taylor >> > >> > -- >> > >> > --- >> > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google >> Groups >> > "web2py-users" group. >> > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send >> an >> > email to web2py+un...@googlegroups.com. >> > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. >> > >> > >> > -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
