Auto-Complete no longer searches the beginning of text for Sage 100 (enhanced versus basic Auto-Complete)
Description


Cause
  • Running the Build Search Index utility on the Library Master Utilities menu activates the Enhanced auto-complete feature.
  • When using the Enhanced auto-complete feature, your search criteria is compared with all words within the searched fields. For example, if you have a customer named Allen’s Appliance Repair and a customer named Appliance Services, typing Appl in the Customer No. field results in a list that includes both customers.
  • In addition, the number of fields included in the search has been expanded. For example, to search for a vendor by phone number, start typing the phone number, digits only, in the Vendor No. field.
  • The older, basic version of auto-complete search worked by comparing your entry to the beginning of the customer, vendor, or item name.
