Pattern for searching with autocomplete / type ahead if possible

  • What Grafana version and what operating system are you using? n/a

  • What are you trying to achieve? I am looking for the best practice for a search box to search for a customer from a datasource of over 100k customers. It would be great to have autocomplete or type ahead to ease with the search.

  • How are you trying to achieve it? From what I understand, a dropdown box has typeahead, but not an input box. If there is a panel beneath the search box with search results, could it update with search results as the user types in the text box?

  • What happened? n/a

  • What did you expect to happen? n/a

  • Can you copy/paste the configuration(s) that you are having problems with? n/a

  • Did you receive any errors in the Grafana UI or in related logs? If so, please tell us exactly what they were. n/a

  • Did you follow any online instructions? If so, what is the URL? n/a
