nuBuilder Forum

Is there a simple way to restrict the search on a browse form to just one column. The default seems to be to search all columns.

Manually via Options Menu:
By Code: nuSetNoSearchColumns()

This function excludes a list of columns from being searched on the current Browse Form.

A new function has been added to nuBuilder: nuSetSearchColumns()
This function includes a list of columns from being searched on the current Browse Form, all other columns are excluded.

E.g. include only the first column:

I am a complete nuBuilder novice with only a few hours experience.

This is exactly what I want to do, but where do I put the call to nuSetSearchColumns?

Hi,

Place that code in the form's Custom Code.

1) Click on the "Options Menu"
2) Select "Form Properties"
3) Select the "Custom Code" Tab
4) Click on the "Browse" button
5) Write your code in the JavaScript field.

Hello Kevin,
Thanks for your quick response.
I have now got this to work using NuSetNoSearchColumns()

nuSetSearchColumns() does not work for me. Perhaps I am not using the latest version.

Your screenshot above shows a Version Info option in the drop down menu, but I don't see this.

What version are you using? (See button Setup -> Setup tab)
nuSetSearchColumns() was added on February 17th

DB Version V.4.5-2023.04.10.00
Files version V.4.5-2023.05.01.02
