How to add a Search Box

Hello, I would like to add a search box to our app, but can't find documentation on this. The search box should be similar to the one in the news monitor (see attachment). I want it to allow searching for a list of RICs (e.g. a Watchlist or Quote List)

  • Hi @daniel.11, currently we do not have this control available. However, your web application is able to listen to search from the box built-in to the container itself (which has the Eikon autosuggest built-in) or from other apps, via JET context passing.

    May I ask the specific use case? If there is significant interest from a few participants we can look into adding it to the SDK - you can reach out to me directly at elizabeth.piazza@thomsonreuters.com if that is easier.

  • Thanks, I've just emailed you.

  • The command line is built into the Chromium container that hosts your app. From there users get access to Autosuggest which they can use to search for securities.

  • Thanks, emailing as well.
