Sorry just realized there were couple typos in my example. It should be:

controller Customer is CRUD {
	controls_table customer;

	method do_main is main_listing {
		livesearch 1;
	}
}



table customer {
	field id {
		is int4, primary_key, auto;
	}
	field name {
		is varchar;
		label Name;
		html_form_type text;
		searchable 1;

	}
}
