Hi, I've this code:
- self customers select: [:aCustomer | aCustomer name asUppercase beginsWith: firstsLetterOfName asUppercase]
It works ok and with good perfomance but "customers" is a magma collection so I would like use where: because the collection has a index on #name attribute.
- self customers where: [:each | aCustomer name = firstsLetterOfName asUppercase]
It works but I had two problems, the first one is that the meaningfulCharacters of MaSearchStringIndex is 5 and then it works if I write exactly the 5 firsts letter of the name. The second problem is that I can't send asUppercase beacuse name is a MaClause.
So, my question is: Can I use where: for this funcionality or I need use select:? If you think that where: is appropiate, Do I need create a new king of index to reach that?
Thank you, Facu
p.s.: I'm using the first code in the method of customersOfNameBeginsWith: selector and i used it on a autocompletation jquery input control.
