Search in Selector - acumatica

Question

The default search in acumatica selector is contains and it creates lots off issue while entering the data in once of selector in custom page. Is there a way to change the behaviour to start with instead of contains.
Update
I have tried the following code and it is filtering based on start with but not displaying all the columns in the selector
#region Custom Selector Attribute
public class LotSerialNbrSelectionAttribute : PXCustomSelectorAttribute
{
public LotSerialNbrSelectionAttribute(Type type, Type[] fieldlist)
: base(type,fieldlist)
{
}
protected virtual IEnumerable GetRecords()
{
PXView view = new PXView(this._Graph, !this._DirtyRead, this._Select);
PXCache lotSerCach = this._Graph.Caches[typeof(InfoLotSerialFilter)];
List<object> result = new List<object>();
Int32 totalrow = 0;
Int32 startrow = PXView.StartRow;
result = view.Select(PXView.Currents, PXView.Parameters,
PXView.Searches, PXView.SortColumns, PXView.Descendings,
PXView.Filters, ref startrow, PXView.MaximumRows, ref totalrow);
PXView.StartRow = 0;
string searchval = string.Empty;
if(PXView.Filters.Length > 0)
searchval = PXView.Filters[0].Value.ToString();
InfoLotSerialFilter searchrow = lotSerCach.Current as InfoLotSerialFilter;
foreach(PXResult<INLotSerialStatus> line in result)
{
INLotSerialStatus row = line;
if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(searchval))
yield return row;
else
{
if(row.LotSerialNbr.StartsWith(searchval))
yield return row;
}
}
}
}

Calling the attribute

protected string _LotSerialNbr;
[PXString(100, IsUnicode = true )]
[PXUIField(DisplayName = "Serial Number" )]

set

Answer 1

I have tried the modified code given below and works fine
#region Custom Selector Attribute
public class LotSerialNbrSelectionAttribute : PXCustomSelectorAttribute
{
public LotSerialNbrSelectionAttribute(Type type, Type[] fieldlist)
: base(type, typeof(INLotSerialStatus.inventoryID), typeof(INLotSerialStatus.lotSerialNbr), typeof(INSite.siteCD))
{
}
protected virtual IEnumerable GetRecords()
{
PXView view = new PXView(this._Graph, !this._DirtyRead, this._Select);
string searchval = string.Empty;
if (PXView.Filters.Length > 0)
searchval = PXView.Filters[0].Value.ToString();
PXView.Filters.Clear();
//PXCache lotSerCach = this._Graph.Caches[typeof(InfoLotSerialFilter)];
List<object> result = new List<object>();
Int32 totalrow = 0;
Int32 startrow = PXView.StartRow;
result = view.Select(PXView.Currents, PXView.Parameters,
PXView.Searches, PXView.SortColumns, PXView.Descendings,
PXView.Filters, ref startrow, 10000, ref totalrow);
PXView.StartRow = 0;
foreach(PXResult<INLotSerialStatus,INSite> line in result)
{
INLotSerialStatus row = line;
if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(searchval))
yield return line;
else
{
if(row.LotSerialNbr.StartsWith(searchval))
yield return line;
}
}
}
}
