Try changing “anypart” to AutoComplete.MATCH_ANY_PART (the string is actually anyPart)

You’re in luck. I just added that feature in the latest version (0.98.1). There’s a new property called browserFields. You pass it an array of the fields to display in the browser datagrid.

Thank you in advanced

That’s really cool, thanks for sharing. I’d like to build it in to the next version, the only issue I’m having is figuring out how to display which part of the search string matches.

Thanks,

thanks to share this verry good Autocompleter,

Here are two function you could add to StringUtils class to provide the new feature of filtering Phonectically !

(comming from : http://jobemakar.blogspot.com/2007/08/soundex-comparing-words-phonectically.html)

// === BEGIN

static private function run(s:String):String
{
var SIZE:int = 4;
var i:int;

var strUpper:String = s.toUpperCase();

var charArr:Array = new Array();

for (i=0;i<strUpper.length;++i)
{
charArr[i] = strUpper.charAt(i);
}

var firstLetter:String = charArr[0];

// convert letters to numeric code
for (i = 0; i < charArr.length; i++)
{
switch (charArr[i]) {
case ‘B’:
case ‘F’:
case ‘P’:
case ‘V’:
charArr[i] = ’1′;
break;
case ‘C’:
case ‘G’:
case ‘J’:
case ‘K’:
case ‘Q’:
case ‘S’:
case ‘X’:
case ‘Z’:
charArr[i] = ’2′;
break;
case ‘D’:
case ‘T’:
charArr[i] = ’3′;
break;
case ‘L’:
charArr[i] = ’4′;
break;
case ‘M’:
case ‘N’:
charArr[i] = ’5′;
break;
case ‘R’:
charArr[i] = ’6′;
break;
default:
charArr[i] = ’0′;
break;
}
}

// remove duplicates
var output:String = “” + firstLetter;
var lastChar:String = charArr[0];

for (i = 1; i < charArr.length; i++)
{
if (charArr[i] != ’0′ && charArr[i] != lastChar)
{
lastChar = charArr[i];
output += lastChar;
}
}

// pad with 0′s or truncate
for (i = output.length; i < SIZE; i++)
{
output += ’0′;
}
output = output.substring(0, SIZE);

return output;
}

static public function soundsLike( word1:String, word2:String ):Boolean
{
return (( run( word2 ) == run( word1.substr(0,word2.length) ) )?true:false);
}

// === END

then the filter handler function could be :

chooser.filterFunction = function( item:Object, searchStr:String ):Boolean
{
if ( StringUtils.soundsLike(item.name, searchStr) )
{
return true;
}
return false;
});
