Hey @sabari7320, Thanks for the clarification. This is currenlty not possible with Searchfield. Since the suggestions are basically an overlay drawn on top of the UI as an Overlay and not in a Widget Tree. I think the only way to solve is to bring back inline Support for Suggestions which was removed https://github.com/maheshmnj/searchfield/commit/5b6189e2b47f306cfb77c38d59e0989725246ebd

I think this perfectly makes a valid use case to have a suggestions in a widget tree.

For now I think you can try something like unfocus when the user Scrolls the UI to close the Searchfield.

this feature was proposed back then https://github.com/maheshmnj/searchfield/issues/95

@sabari7320 How about you close the Searchfield when you scroll the UI?

Searchfield(
 focusNode: focus,
...
 )

   scrollController.addListener(() {
      if (scrollController.position.userScrollDirection ==
          ScrollDirection.reverse) {
        focus.unfocus();
      }
    });

You can write your custom logic, when you would like to hide the suggestions.

This approach seems better than showing the suggestions in a widget tree which would abruptly add and remove suggestions in the widget tree. lmkwyt
