The original post (below) had two concepts: autocomplete, and combining fields. This ticket addresses the combining fields idea: being able to search across multiple columns. If someone reaches out about autocomplete, it can be a follow-on ticket.

Original Post:
Would be great if we could add a combined field that could be an autocomplete. I tried with Views Autocomplete Filters, but it doesn't recognize any of the fields so it just spits out an error. Wondering if anyone has been able to do an autocomplete successfully with this module? If not, I might look into building it, just need some pointers on where to start.

@dallen33 - please make an attempt! I would say check out how the other two filters have been implemented and then see how the combine fields filter works. I would think this module is a really good candidate for that because all the fields are text.

Successfully tested patch 49 and used the "CSV Combine Field" instead of the global combine field. It did require me to choose columns in the combine, whereas the global version doesn't require selecting any fields.
