    If I use find to restrict my list of records, auto-complete on fields is restricted to that list of records as well. While I can’t call this a bright-line bug, it seems counter-productive to restrict auto-complete.

    Hi JBB,

    Hmm… That’s a good observation. The issue is that the values that compose the auto-complete popup only come from the list of records displayed. And since the list is filtered by the Saved Search, so would be the list of values in the auto-complete popup. But I can see how that might be a problem. I’ll have to think about that. Because to support it the other way, I’ll have to do 2 fetches from the database, one to display the filtered records, and another to get that field’s values from every record in the form.
