Keyboard problems

[Greg58]

I have a shopping list app for personal use.  On the MacBook it works fine.  I have a global search field which searches through the list of existing items.  I have a script trigger (On Object Modify) on the field which allows a 'type ahead' search when each letter is entered.  On the phone in FileMaker Go, the keyboard drops off the screen and then reappears when I type each letter.  Pretty disconcerting to use.  Is there anyway to stop this please??  I have attached the script I use for the type ahead.  Thanks.

Yeah that type of type-ahead with that script is not an enjoyable experience.

Couple things you could do is not fire the find until after a few letters are typed.

Here's a script I use for a type ahead on a little game I made.  I don't know if the keyboard pops up and down as it seems to fire pretty fast.script.xps

What may solve your problem is don't let any other field be enterable, and use a button to go to the record you want to display
