In this blog, I will discuss what is Search Help and types of search help in SAP ABAP.

A search help is an object of the ABAP Dictionary which helps to purpose some list of values for some input filed.

There are Three types of Search Help.

  • Elementary search helps
  • Collective search help
  • Append search helps

Elementary search helps implement a search path for determining the possible entries.

Collective search helps contain several elementary search helps. A collective search help therefore provides several alternative search paths for possible entries.

Append search helps can be used to enhance collective search helps delivered by SAP with customer-specific search paths without requiring a modification.

To create a Search Help go to the transaction code SE11.
