Search Field Scripting

What FileMaker developer wants their solution to be so difficult to use that it causes users not to want to use it? My guess, not a one.

So, the first general order of business, beyond your schema, may be adding many of those familiar features which users have already come to expect from any nice software package.

When it comes to features, some type of easy-to-use search feature is most likely at the top of the list. The trick is making it work and feel like all the other search features users have become used to.

This video showcases the implementation of a powerful OnObjectKeystroke script which enhances the familiar search field functionality.

Some interesting stuff in this one, thanks.

I was wondering why you chose to use conditional formatting rather than 'hide object when' for the delete button?

Hi
downloaded the file and somehow it does not work with search as you type.. Have to look into it why...
