I have the same problem...execSearch()..in MiniSearch widget.
If I add a search term and press Return nothing happens. I also added a button to the widget with the "execSearch()" statement and nothing happens with this either.

Thx

Naty,

   This is what I would change in the code:

<hc:AdvancedAutoComplete id="advancedAutoComplete" x="8" y="30" width="250"            
                                 dataProvider="{_xlcDP}"
                                 labelField="@name"             
                                 matchType="anyPart"
                                 showRemoveIcon="true"
                                 selectedItemStyleName="none"
                                 color="#000000"
                                 change="execSearch()"
                                 itemClick="{advancedAutoComplete.showBrowser()}"
                                 actionsMenuDataProvider="{autoCompleteMenuData}"
                                 browserFields="{[{label:'Building Name', field:'@name'}]}"/>

I tried with this "color" too and it perfectly works...but my problem is that when I open the dropdown the selected item has the same color of the Font 😄 so I cant see what I'm selecting 😛
Thanks Robert!!

Naty,

   I ran into this before and was not able to change the background color in the autocomplete component. So sorry my best advice is to change your text color for the whole Flex Viewer.

Robert and Naty, let's try to set styles "rollOverColor" and "selectionColor".

Naty,

   Davide pointed me in the right direction here is the new init function.

private function init():void
            {
                if(configXML)
                {
                    searchTip = configXML.textsearchtip;
                    advancedAutoComplete.toolTip = searchTip;
                }
                _xlcDP = new XMLListCollection(dp.Building);
                advancedAutoComplete.setStyle("textRollOverColor",0x000000);
                advancedAutoComplete.setStyle("textSelectedColor",0x000000);
            }
