Various tools of Foresight Analytics Platform use comboboxes to select any elements or objects.
The example of combobox in the desktop application:
List elements are shown as a hierarchy. To select an element, open the list of elements and click it.
Comboboxes implement various search types.
The following search types are available when the drop-down list is expanded:
On entering first several characters of the element name the cursor moves to the first found element. This search type is executed in cycles, and only by the elements in the expanded part of element tree hierarchy.
In the search string that opens on pressing F3 or CTRL+F. The search starts in the desktop application after the user enters required word part and presses the ENTER key or clicks the 
Search button. The search is executed in cycles by all the element hierarchy.
If the search is successful, the focus moves to the found element.
Elements can also be searched with the component drop-down list collapsed. When the component is focused, click the 
Search button or start entering the search text. The list filtered by elements and containing this combination in its name is formed on entering the symbol combination.
One or several words can also be searched based on segments in any mode. To do this, separate the search combinations with whitespace character. The word order in the names of search elements is ignored.
