Combo box that allows you to search for "contains"
I would like to know if it is possible to search for contains when selecting data in a combo box. Right now when we search in the combo box for a certain piece of information it is filtered by starts with but we want to know if it is possible to perform this search by contains in a combo box.
Hi Sara,
Not as far as I know but someone else may have some suggestions.
As an alternative, what you can do is have a pop up dashboard with the Tree View component for the user to search/select. This has a couple of Tree types, notably "Search" and "Filter" - i like filterable ones as it will filter the options as you type.
One of the issues with this component is that it take a bit more set up and requires a data adaptor. Check out this blog for info:

FredLucasHi SaraB,
Unfortunately I don't think that is currently possible using the out of the box component. Feel free to suggest that enhancement on the ideaStream.
If it's a must, such functionality could be developed on a custom dashboard using:
- a text box where the user would type the word to search
- a button to execute the search
- one grid view with the applicable list items. This list would be based on a data adapter / data set rule that would take the search word as a parameter and only display the valid entries
Hi Fred, thanks for the reply.
Regards,
Sara.
