autocomplete gold release 4

[Ken]

Autocomplete is added to Gold release 3, I got Gold release 4 and tried to explore what's like. Nothing happeded when enter suggest into search bar no matter how many characters were put in. I checked simplesearch.ascx and found this

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function () {
        $(".searchPhrase").autocomplete({
            source: function (request, response) {
                $.ajax({
                    url: "Search.aspx/Suggest",
                    data: "{ 'term': '" + request.term + "' }",
                    dataType: "json",
                    type: "POST",
                    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
                    dataFilter: function (data) { return data; },
                    success: function (data) {
                        response($.map(data.d, function (item) {
                            return {
                                value: item
                            }
                        }))
                    },
                });
            },
            minLength: 2
        });
    });
</script>

I guess this is for autocomplete but why it like not turned on.
much appreciated if anyone who used it can have a hint.

This maybe because your searches doesn't meet the criteria to be listed in auto complete. If you go to Administration > Configure > Store > General and then under Search Settings there is option called Popular Search Count which is set to 3 in default. It means each word must be search at least 3 times on store and then it can appear in auto complete. You can confirm by going to Administration > Reports > Customers > Search History and see if search keyword you expect to appear in auto complete has valid search count.

I set my search count to 1 and tested with a couple of terms the other day and the auto complete worked for me.
