The dialog type of an elementary search help defines how the hit list is displayed when the input help is called.

The following dialog types are possible:

• immediate value display: The hit list is displayed immediately.

• complex dialog with value restriction: The dialog box for selecting the search help is offered immediately.

• dialog depending on number of values: If the hit list contains less than 100 entries, it is displayed immediately. If the hit list contains more than 100 entries, the dialog box is displayed for value selection.
