I’m working on a site that has employee pages for about 50 employees. I want to create a search for a database that has 3 fields (name, photo and url). When someone begins to type in a name, a drop down list for names that fit the users input will appear below the input box and allow them to click on the name that is displayed to be directed to the corresponding employee page url. Ideally, I would like for a photo to appear next to the name in the sorted dropdown that appears as the end user begins to type in a name.

I’m new to wix code and need to be pointed in the right direction…at the very least. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hey,

The easiest solution I could suggest is to use a Dropdown component instead of an Input - here is an instruction how to use it - Working with the Connect Dropdown Panel | Help Center | Wix.com. It’s fairly easy.

Going with UX you’ve described you would need to do much more, but it is still possible. You could check this step-by-step instruction - Velo Tutorial: Adding Collection Data Search Functionality | Help Center | Wix.com
