Search Capability

I would like to be able to do a search on data fields.  As far a HOW the search takes place, I would like to see the partial fill-in of the words that are matching as I type.  For example, starting with an 'M' - - the field displays designated data that begins with the letter 'M'.  Then, as the letters are added, it starts showing the names available with those letters (e.g., 'Mo' as i begin to search for say 'Moringstar').  As soon as I see the name that I'm looking for, I can just click on it rather than continuing to type it out.

 

We are using BPM 7.6.  Does Metastorm support this kind of search?  Thanks.

Not natively.  My experience of the closest would be having a drop down list that can be typed in, but it seems the "jump down" doesn't work once a blank or other punctuation is needed.  It seems similar in v9 as well, but the drop downs don't seem to "take focus" as they did in v7.
