HxSearchBox #

A search input component with automatic suggestions, initial dropdown template, and support for free-text queries.

HxSearchBox component is similar to HxAutosuggest component, but it is designed to be used for searching.

  • HxSearchBox allows you to customize item rendering,
  • HxSearchBox supports free-text query,
  • HxSearchBox does not support Value binding to the model,
  • HxSearchBox does not support validation.

Basic usage #

    Search for employees by name...

Last selected item:
Last triggered text-query:

Note: The demos on this page use DemoDataService, in-memory simulation of a simple data store. Find the implementation on GitHub.

Suggestions only #

You can disable free-text query by setting AllowTextQuery="false". Only suggestions will be allowed.

    Search for employees by name...

Last selected item:

Initial suggestions #

You can provide initial suggestions to the user by setting MinimumLength="0". This is useful when you want to display some suggestions to the user before they start typing.

    Last selected item:

    Text query without suggestions #

    You may want to include a straightforward search box to initiate text-based searches. No suggestions, just visual cues to assist the user.

      Type company registration number and hit Enter...
