Extending the FAYT Field

Find-As-You-Type (FAYT) scripts let you type into the FAYT field and pass it to a script. The script can then (optionally) pass back a list of matches and perform actions, either as you type or when you push return.

Several FAYT script examples can be found on the support forum.
