[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (RF-8896) ComboBox: support for regular expression matchers

[Luis Tama (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/RF-8896?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12537944#action_12537944 ] 

Luis Tama commented on RF-8896:
-------------------------------

This support for regex matchers should be optional, more precisely, rich:comboBox should support these search methods for client-side suggestions (at least):
- "begins with" (default), already available.
- "contains"
- "contains any", a regexp, where a separation token that could be provided (as in rich:suggestion), or would default to space char, as in the regex used in my article (the link provided).

These search methods for suggestions should be available as an attribute when defining the tag in JSF, maybe "searchMethod", with possible values "begins", "contains" and "any", for example:
<rich:comboBox searchMethod="any" ... />

Also, there should be a JS API method to change it on the client-side, for example:
#{rich:component('myComboBox')}.setSearchMethodContains();

Best regards,
Luis Tama
