OO.ui.SearchWidget

Extends

Constructor

new OO.ui.SearchWidget([config]) #

SearchWidgets combine a text input field, where users can type a search query, and a menu of search results, which is displayed beneath the query field. Unlike lookup menus, search result menus are always visible to the user. Users can choose an item from the menu or type a query into the text field to search for a matching result item. In general, search widgets are used inside a separate dialog window.

Each time the query is changed, the search result menu is cleared and repopulated. Please see the OOUI demos for an example.

Parameters:

Name Type Attributes Description
config Object optional

Configuration options

Properties:
Name Type Attributes Description
placeholder string | jQuery optional

Placeholder text for query input
value string optional

Initial query value
input OO.ui.InputWidget optional

Input widget for search. Defaults to a search input widget if not provided.
Source:

SearchWidgets combine a text input field, where users can type a search query, and a menu of search results, which is displayed beneath the query field.
