I'd likely say that this is considered out-of-scope of what the library is meant to do.
All you need to do is to create a form that allows the user to enter their search criteria and submit it along with any other relevant pieces of data for the search. Your servlet call would then search the results accordingly and return the results which are hits based on the criteria and would only retrieve a page of records at a time. This would not impact your performance and would solve your problem. If you want to use something that looks clean and robust without redrawing the screen on each search, you can also hook in AJAX so that you fire the search & paging back to the server in an AJAX call and re-render a DIV with the AJAX results.

Ie in the text box if I enter some text and enter only the matching string content should be displayed with out refreshing the page. Like data table of jQuery. I cant use data table as this will load all the records at a time. There are thousands of records to be displayed which will deteriorate my application performance. --regards, raaja.g -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/can-we-set-search-option-in-display-tag-tp32193707 p32193707.html Sent from the DisplayTag - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.
