Sage 100 Auto-Complete No Longer Searches The Beginning Of Text For Sage 100 (Enhanced V.S. Basic Auto-Complete)

Beginning with Sage 100cloud 2018 the auto-complete feature can search numerous fields rather than the first few characters of the primary information field.

When using the Enhanced auto-complete feature, search criteria is compared with all words within the searched fields.

Auto-complete was first added to Sage 100 version 2014. In version 2018 the ability to simultaneously search additional fields was added to Sage 100cloud.

For example, if you have a customer named Allen’s Appliance Repair and a customer named Appliance Services, typing Appl in the Customer No. field results in a list that includes both customers.

In addition, the number of fields included in the search has been expanded. For example, to search for a vendor by phone number, start typing the phone number, digits only, in the Vendor No. field.

The older, basic version of the auto-complete search worked by comparing your entry to the beginning of the customer, vendor, or item name.

Here is how to return to the older auto-complete functionality.
