Predictive Live Search

TheJae 16 May 2012 03:12 idea, rejected

Hi Low,

Would be nice if your plug can offer predictive/ autocomplete search for users, where the admin can specify whether to use the 'Title' or other custom fields as the autocomplete source.

    I usually prefer to remain neutral about front-end enhancements like that (would be an Ajax-y solution), but I'll take this into consideration to see how I could accommodate that in an easy way.

    Good point, it could work like the EE's Datepicker widget for Safecracker.

    {exp:low_search:form autocomplete="on"}

    {/exp:low_search:form}

    Then your addon can automatically insert the necessary and files.

    I'd really appreciate an autocomplete/autosuggest option. A lot of my customers request exactly this functionality. :)

    I actually rejected this idea on the basis that I think it should be front-end solution and therefore not the responsibility of the add-on to arrange. So, sorry, it's not planned.
