Using type-ahead
The type-ahead feature finds word matches for you based on the first few letters you type. You can use the type-ahead feature in many different ways throughout IBM Lotus Notes, including dialog boxes, views, address fields, and more.
You can use the type-ahead feature in any of the following ways:
In dialog boxes - You can use type-ahead in many of the fields to search for users, servers, file names, or applications in a list. Type the first letter or two of the name, the first name beginning with those letters is automatically selected. Press
Enter
to choose the selection.
In a view - You can use the type-ahead feature in a view to quickly find a particular document or category. In a view, this feature opens a "Starts with" dialog box. To search a view using type-ahead, first sort the view the way you want to search (by name, or subject for example). The search text must match the way the view is sorted. For instance, in a view sorted by "last, first name," you must start typing the last name, not the first name.
