Request from one of our members:
sandnsea2 said:After seeing this list grow, I think a dropdown box would be a bad idea. Too many hybridizers.

But we could have autocomplete., where you type in the first letter or 2, then they present you with some choices.


When sandnsea2 says "After seeing this list grow, I think a dropdown box would be a bad idea.", she is talking about the fact that their is a very long list of hybridizers.

Dave can we have auto complete ability when searching for hybridizer in the Search by characteristic in the parent plant.
Right now that only happens if I have done a search for a given name before. It does not work for other hybridizers that I have not searched for.

Here is a name I have searched for in the past, showing drop down of choices.

And here is a name that I have not searched for in the past. No drop down of choices.

Is it possible to program it to search for the hybridizer names in the sempervivum database, giving the drop down of matching names to choose from?

I'm afraid not. The "Search by characteristics" page isn't designed to support autocomplete of those fields.
