I have a report that I show a bill of material based on a selected
parent. I have about 17,000 parents to select from. When I use
"available values from query" the current behavior on the report is a
drop down box where I can choose between all 17,000 where at least for
large collections I'd prefer being able to start typing in and have the
control filter the query based on what's typed into the parameter. Is

I believe what you're looking for can be accomplished with a custom

provide narrowing filter functionality out of the box.
