Magma collection - where:

[Facundo Vozzi]

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.
