Re: [VuFind-General] JQuery Autocomplete

[Demian K. <dem...@vi...>]

I don't think you can give JQuery's AutoComplete a direct Solr URL to make this work -- instead, you'll need to write an intermediate PHP script that constructs a Solr query based on the GET parameters sent by JQuery ("q" contains the text to query, and I believe there is sometimes another parameter designed to limit the number of results returned).  You then need to parse the Solr response and return it in the format JQuery expects -- I believe just a series of lines of text terminated by line breaks.

I haven't actually used JQuery AutoComplete with VuFind myself, but perhaps somebody else already has some code they can share.
