On of the "problems" in Cobalt is the simple autocomplete (ajax) function. Sometimes it just needs more information to make a decision for the right choice.

Imagine, you search for a Name, but you have

7 x Smith, John

in your list -- Which one is the right one?

Additional field information (picture thumbnail, address, birthday, etc) in the choices would help to make the right choice.

An example where it was already implemented is the category search, where it adds the category image ...

It would be a useful enhancement for the parent-child combo.

Thanks for thinking about a possible solution for this .. ;-)

Really? Missed it somehow. Thanks for reminding me.

BTW, any changes or news on auto-complete?

What about the main search field? If it is restricted on 2 or 3 fields and index... is it possible to have a preview here as well? (please! ;-) ) Would be cool for "user-profiles" or "classifieds".

BTW, the plain and blank input field could have some visual hint... that is it an auto-updated input. Something like a "circle with gradient". CMS Drupal search fields have a similar indicator. Not optimal, but coming close to my request:

Drupal fields example:

Or this one from your icon label library.

Will it be improved and extended in Cobalt8? Or even in a Cobalt7 update?

Unusually, silence and no responses ...

Wow, this would be a killer feature! An Autocomplete with additional infos displayed (like images, descriptions, parent-relationships which are stored in the records) accessible via onmouseover or in a simple popup... that feature would kill other CCKs :-) Something we can see in Cobalt 9?
