Search field in webdynpro which filters results as we write text

[Former Member]

Hi,

I want to create a Search input field on my wd screen which can search an index based on the search text I feed in. The challenge is that search query in the background should execute as soon as I start writing the key rather than on hitting any button. Did any of you do this in past or have any insights on this. Basically I need to know if there is a wd function which gets called on entering text in the input field.

If there is nothing like this available as of now in SAP, any suggestion on how to approach designing this functionality. Thank you so much.
