Its working great but howevee a small problem, the cursor always stays in the search box,but when a user modifies any of the look up fields until the user moves the cursor into the lookup field the cursor stays in the search box and if the user overlooks this and clicks enter (which will now do the search) all the data that he has input is lost causing some inconvenience to the users, is there anyways when a user tries to modify the lookup field, the cursor moves into that field rather than staying in the search box.

As with some other folks commenting, I don’t see results returned for Custom Fields.

Do I need to turn something else on to make this happen?

Hi There,
Its Great. But, I was wondering, if we can modify the code just to display results for the object selected by the user rather than for all Objects

Hi Tanner – this is a great tool. Thank you!

I do have a few questions. Is there a way to incorporate the solution search in here as well? (Everything in one box) I still don’t understand why SFDC keeps this seperate from an advanced search.

Also when doing an advanced search and searching for a contacts last name and the account name, the search doesn’t return what is expected….you have to search for one or the other and then go to the related list to make you choice. Is there a way this can be done as well?

Thanks,
Malinda

Never mind, I figured it out. I had to check the ‘show html’ box before I pasted in the code.

Hi Charlotte. Try copying the code into notepad first. Then, create the homepage component and paste the text into it while in HTML mode.

This doesn’t work – the homepage just shows the text of the html code. What am I doing wrong?

I’ve answered my own question here from 24 Nov 09. A colleague and I stumbled upon what we think is a pretty clever technique to avoid having the Advanced Search component always steal focus.

I’ve posted instructions & code for our technique on the Appirio Tech Blog:

Please try & enjoy!
