Hi all,
I have a search bar which only searches once the search button is pressed. Is there any way that it can search just based on the user input without users having the press anywhere?
the database it searches from is an API and the search bar is custom.
If the query parameter for the external collection is the search input, you shouldn’t need to be pressing the search button. When the input changes it will usually run the call again automatically.
how would I make it the search input?
You pass that field as a query parameter on the external collection
text fields do not have actions, so this is not possible
This is using a search input to filter external collection. no button needed. You need to set the call up as an external collection rather than a custom action.
I tried this but the search input does not update when its changed without a button
can you screenshot your setup?
You could try doing this:
Ignore the Flash Videos bit but do the Title Contains Input but replace Title with what you want the search to detect. To do this you may need to make the list as a custom list but it is very straight forward and easy to do so. If you have any issues please reply
