Add search icon

[Sarthak]

I want to add a search icon inside the autocomplete component.while the user is not typing anything in the box a search icon should appear.as the user starts typing search would be replaced with a default cross icon.again when the focus is out of the box the cross icon should be replaced by the search icon.how do I achieve with autocomplete component.

Hi Sarthak,

Displaying a search icon instead of the clear icon cannot be currently achieved by the AutoComplete component.

However as part of the R3 2020 release next week we will publish a new TextBox component that will allow displaying custom icons and buttons as part of an input that could be used in similar scenarios.
