🚀 go-pugleaf

I want to use the user to type in a letter and when he has typed the first
letter, i search in a field.
When he  types a new letter a new search is done, removing all other
entitites.
Have tried to set the components dataset to null to remove items, nowork,
aswell as refreshing the query (with new sql) bound to the component, dosent
work either.
 i could use a regular combobox and fill it with strings, however this takes
forever(strange).

please Advice
and thanks for your help so far..
