That doesn't seem to work for me - I just get sent the literal 
"%{searchString}"!

I can see "searchString" is mentioned in widgets/ComboBox.js around line 
34 with a call to paramString, and i see in string/extras.js, that that 
function does a regex to replace %{..blah..} with the input..

So i'm confused as to why it doesn't work!


Also, I noticed that the call to the combobox handler is made once on 
pageload, but isn't called any more as I start typing into it.. Is this 
correct behaviour?

Thanks,
