How do you auto populate a search field in skuid?

The SFDC lead convert page has that magnifying glass icon that auto searches related accounts in a drop down. Is there way to have the same functionality on a skuid page that autopopulates a search field?

Jamie,

You can do something similar with Skuid’s action framework. Here is a page that demonstrates this. It has a button that sets a condition on an Account model using the Company field from the Lead. The next action queries the model to find any matches.

<skuidpage unsavedchangeswarning="yes" personalizationmode="server" useviewportmeta="true" showsidebar="true" showheader="true" tabtooverride="Lead">    <models>
        <model id="Lead" limit="1" query="true" createrowifnonefound="false" datasourcetype="salesforce" datasource="salesforce" sobject="Lead">
            <fields>
                <field id="FirstName"/>
                <field id="LastName"/>
                <field id="Company"/>
                <field id="CreatedDate"/>
            </fields>
            <conditions>
                <condition type="param" enclosevalueinquotes="true" operator="=" field="Id" value="id"/>
            </conditions>
            <actions/>
        </model>
        <model id="SimilarAccounts" limit="20" query="false" createrowifnonefound="false" datasource="salesforce" type="" sobject="Account">
            <fields>
                <field id="Name"/>
                <field id="Id"/>
            </fields>
            <conditions>
                <condition type="fieldvalue" value="" enclosevalueinquotes="true" field="Name" operator="contains" state="filterableoff" inactive="true" name="NameFilter"/>
