Drop down text As Typing

[stewd]

Hi,

I've been trying to create a part of an app, that when you start to type a word between two " the app will start to show recomened suggestions, same as spotlight search does,

For Example,

If I type Word word "w "

I would like under the "W" 'word' to display, and be selectable.



Cheers'

You will have to create a search algorithm with a large database of words. Search through the words and see which matches most accurately. Good luck ;-)

Cheers thank you,

Yea it'll be a big word-bank,

Also into the search algorithm would I just build in a way so it only activates when "<" is typed in, then deactivates when ">" is written,

You wouldn't need a "<" or a ">". Only check for spaces. If the user is typing then hits space you know the word is done and to remove the drop down menu. As soon as they start typing a again bring it back up. I hope that answers your question.
