Question

Can dijit.form.FilteringSelect generate a seperate autocompletion http query each time user enters different value into textbox ?

AFAIK currently filtering based on this string is done at client side. I’d like to perform this filtering at server side.

Thanks for help.

I believe you can use a dojox.data.QueryReadStore as the specified store when you create the filtering select and it will use the server for filtering. Your server endpoints will have to implement the proper contract though, as detailed in Server Side Implementation here

var dataStore = new dojox.data.QueryReadStore({
  url: '/some/filtering/endpoint'
});

var filteringSelect = new dijit.form.FilteringSelect({
 store: dataStore
});
