...with 88 selections in the US Masters Golf event, I wonder if having a ladder 'selection search' feature in a future update would be possible?
ie enter the initial letters of a selection name and the drop-down will only offer the corresponding results.
I was just looking for Matt Kuchar and for some reason missed him in the drop-down, but entering 'ma' in the drop-down selection search would bring his name up along with anyone called mark, matthew, marvin, marcus, etc. - enter 'mat' and the drop-down would have fewer selections to choose from.
Would be a very useful addition and if it helps could just be an option for the first ladder.
Ladder 'Selection Search'
...the Golf Majors are once again just around the corner - the ability to search for a name in the name box on the ladder would be very useful in large fields as you don't have the time to find an individuals name from a drop-down of say 88 names in random order when they are about to take a putt!
I still feel this would be a useful addition.
In large field markets, when using the ladder to trade, a selection search perhaps in the left-most (or all) of the ladders would be a useful additional feature - scroll down to look for an individual selection in a large golf field of 100+, and the trading opportunity has passed and has been missed. A simple search field in the selection name box that offers and reduces the number of selections as you enter more characters would vastly speed up the selection search time.
How many of the currently listed 98 players in The Open Golf field are named 'Justin'? Clicking the name header in the One-click screen tells me there are 4 x Justins - Hastings, Leonard, Rose and Thomas - a simple search box would reduce the 98 current players to 12 by simply entering 'J' and those 12 would be further reduced to just 4 x Justins on entering 'Ju' - problem quickly solved, so long as you then choose the correct Justin!
Or the search box could use last name which might make the search even quicker?

You can already press a letter on a list (Selection name on the ladder for example) and it will find a selection beginning with that letter, press again and it will find the next selection with that letter.
This can also be used on all the list in BA e.g. settings, automation ect.
Not exactly what you’re asking but not sure if you’re aware of this feature. I think it was only added in the last update.
I have found it very handy since it was introduced.

Thank you Dabbla - yes I was aware of that, but it doesn't remove the other selections or order those to choose from, and picks the selection highest up the order until the letter is pressed again when it chooses the next name in the order and so on...it is certainly a very good start, but if different second, third and fourth letter presses were also 'active' that would be perfect.
A very good suggestion!
I like the one-click screen to administer these events with many selections but there is no search function or ability to use the Ctrl+F. And when the selection is found there should be an icon next to it or a shortcut available to open it directly on the ladder.
Even if a market is always in the same order like the Asian hcp with 66 selections, it's still a horror finding the line with the drop down scroll....scroll too fast and you will miss it, scroll too slow and you will fall asleep
