Type ahead by last name is a wonderful solution. Though, it seems
contextual to last name?
In the proof of concept ( http://icograma.com/raf08/ ), clients can be
found by any field(s).
All this queries give [Jorge Gonzalez, phone 4946-2493, address
Viamonte 1509] as the first or only result:
"gonz jor" (partial surname, partial first name)
"jorge gon" (full first name, partial surnam)
"viamonte 1509" (full short address)
"jor 1509" (partial first name, address number)
"49462" (partial phone number)
"gon 4946" (partial surname, partial phone number)
"1509 49" (address number, partial phone number)
In the 5,000 clients database, not only Gonzalez is one of the most
common surnames (51 records), but Viamonte is the most crowded street
(1,329 records). There are 166 phone numbers beginning with "494".
For performance purpouses, the interface only shows first 20 results
by relevance. Not only loading 1000 records is not feasible, but also
it is far more efficient for the user to type 3 more characters to
refine results, that it is to scroll / hunt down the results.
