hello Bryan,

i have done searh functions in my mobile apps (dataView control), and I did it like this.

1) Bind edit box to a Request variable:

2) in search property of a view, i have this code:

if  (requestScope.searchTxt != null)
    {  return requestScope.searchTxt + "*";}

3) Add button labeled "Search" of the submit type (to send request to the server)

It's simple way of doing it, and search works ok. Hope it helps!

Thanks for the code. That works. But I was trying to duplicate some code I have working elsewhere (in a non-Mobile X-Page) that searchs the view every time the user types something in the input box. 

I do that by putting some javascript in the onKeyUp event and then do a partial refresh on the view panel. However, it appears the the partial update doesn't seem to work in the mobile pages. At least I cannot get it to fire consistently.

Hello,

I have built the search functionality in my mobile xpage, everything works when the user hits the custom "Search" button (the one with little magnifying glass in the picture below, which sets the requestScope). However, when the user hits the "Go" button that is provided by the iOS as part of the key pad, the search does not work as expected. The actual search result is displayed for a second and then the view gets loaded.

Is there a way to make the filed as Search field so that the Go button is replaced with "Search" as it happens in other websites?

Thanks,

Venkatesh
