default search (type ahead) in views query

[stet]

We are currently using notes release 6.5.1 and i was wondering if it is possible to point the default search tool to another categorised column in the view that appears after another.


any help would be greatly appreciated

The search function in a view works on the first sorted column of the view.
If you have "dynamic" column sorting (user can click to re-sort view on another column), then the search <should> work on the new column.

If you expect to be able to "move" the search column without re-sorting the view, I'm afraid that is not possible. There is no parameter you can set anywhere to designate which column is supposed to be used for the search.

Pascal.
