--- Comment #4 from Barbara Johnson <[email protected]> ---
I just attended a koha-US Acquisitions Special Interest Group meeting. The
group was discussing functionality/features that need improvement for the
Acquisitions refresh project. The topic of having the vendor search box on the
acq home page be a dropdown that lists the vendors or at least an autocomplete
feature came up and everyone in attendance was in favor of adding this type of
functionality.

If the search box were converted to a dropdown it would allow the exposure of
all the vendors, perhaps allowing the user to scroll through and find a vendor
whose name they could not recall. On the invoices page the vendors search box
is already functioning as a dropdown. When clicking on it the user is presented
with the list of vendors. So, it seems this functionality already exists and
would be great if it could be added to the acquisitions home page. 

However, it was pointed out previously that some libraries have hundreds of
vendors and that a dropdown would not work. Allowing up to x number of vendors
to be shown might work ok. Or maybe this could be a system pref that libraries
could turn on/off based on their local needs. 

Changing this to an autocomplete feature might work well. However, it might not
allow the user to find a vendor whose name they don't know.
