[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (RF-11305) [rich:select] enableManualInput="true": allow search with "contains" and not only with "startsWith"

[Brian Leathem (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-11305?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12631961#comment-12631961 ] 

Brian Leathem commented on RF-11305:
------------------------------------

The clientFilterFunction is described in the showcase as follows:
{quote}
The clientFilterFunction attribute accepts a custom JavaScript function name. This function should have two parameters; subString(current input value considering tokens) and value (currently iterated item value) and return boolean flag which means if the value satisfies the substring passed. The function will be called for every available suggestion in order to construct a new list of suggestions.
{quote}

This indeed seems to be the best route to follow, as it gives developers the most flexibility.

> If you use rich:select with enableManualInput="true", you can only search with the default behaviour startsWith:
> Example: http://richfaces-showcase.appspot.com/richfaces/component-sample.jsf?demo=select&skin=blueSky
> If you type: "alas" -> "Alaska" appears (search with startsWith)
> but it should also be possible to achieve the same result if you type "ska"  (search with contains)
> A good solution may be to control this behaviour with an extra attribute?
