I am looking to use a search function and have the search field show results as I type as it does when you are using a lookup field in a form. For example, if I start type a customer name: Acti… I would start to see results for Action Sign, Acting Group, etc and I then could just choose from those initial results.

Currently I have to press enter or click search before the search results appear. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Knack even has this function on this page when I tried to search the topics.
