ListSearch Demonstration

Click on this ListBox and start typing to search for an entry:


It works for a DropDownList too. In this case, instead of searching for a string that starts with the word we get words that contain the typed word. It resets the search query after 2 seconds if no match is found.


ListSearchExtender Description
ListSearchExtender lets you search for items in the ListBox or DropDownList by typing. The extender performs an incremental search within the ListBox based on what has been typed so far. The prompt message that is displayed when you click the list can be customized along with its CSS class and position.

ListSearchExtender Known Issues

In Safari the ListSearchExtender only works with ListBoxes, not DropDownLists.


In Opera the backspace key moves back a page in the browser history by default when it is pressed on a ListBox or DropDownList. To change this behavior you can go to Tools|Preferences|Shortcuts, edit the Keyboard setup, search for “back” and change the mapping for “Platform Windows-Unix-MCE, Backspace” to “Backspace” instead of “Backspace | Back”
