Type Ahead Search for Input Fields in IS-U Transactions
This function provides a type ahead search for input fields in IS-U transactions. As a user enters a search term in an input field, the search results and their values are displayed in a dropdown list underneath the input field, allowing the user to select one of the results directly.
If users do not know exactly which term to enter, they can benefit from the full text search, which covers multiple columns. The full text search across columns is only available if the underlying database (such as SAP HANA) supports this search method via the chosen selection method(s). If this is not the case, the type ahead search only takes place for the database column that belongs to the input field or allocated search help parameter.

Additional Information
The type ahead search is primarily available for input fields on the initial screens of transactions. On the subsequent screens, the type ahead search is only available for some input fields.
In the case of language-dependent fields, the type ahead search filters the entries according to the logon language: If no texts are available in the logon language, the search results are displayed without text.
The type ahead search for input fields was activated on the initial screens for the following IS-U transactions:

Effects on the SAP System
Using the type ahead search for input fields can have a negative impact on the performance of the input help (F4), which can in turn influence the overall performance of the system. If this is the case, you can deactivate the type ahead search.
