How to search within an Alfresco "ClassicWindow".

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

My application creates a new custom, Alfresco ClassicWindow that contains a list

of items from which the user may select.

I would like to provide the ability for the users to search within this list/page (similar to CTL-F) in a browser.

I would appreciate if anyone has any ideas or suggestions.

Thanks

Using the CTRL+F from the browser they should already be able to search for any rendered content. What you might want to do is provide a search capability for stuff that you have not yet rendered / loaded into the client side UI. This is something that you would normally support with using a FilteredList where you can configure the filter/search input elements, and a custom Aikau service which would be responsible for calling your data web script to load the data according to the user input (you might also be able to work with CrudService but a solution with a custom service will be much cleaner and allow you to handle special features, like search input validation).
