PHPRunner General questions
francesco author

I’m using an AJAX lookup field in PHPRunner, but not all values appear because the suggestion list is limited. How can I confirm the value I type if it doesn’t show up in the dropdown? If I don’t confirm the value (e.g., by selecting and clicking it from the suggested list), the search never actually executes. In other words, simply typing a value doesn’t trigger the database lookup, so I’m unable to perform the search for anything that doesn’t already show up in the suggestion list. I'm using version 10.91

I had this same issue years ago, I got the results to work more efficiently by
using this

$ajaxSearchStartsWith = false;

in after application initialized event. This way it won't use the first letter but get anything that starts with the first few you type even if it does not start with.

I solved with $suggestAllContent = true; and $ajaxSearchStartsWith = true;
But I lost funcionality of full text search that was useful in other project fields
