Auto-suggest

[WILKO92]

Hi,

Is there an easy way of removing auto-suggest from the quick search?

Thanks

[NormanRouxel]

You can remove it from both the Quick Search and the full search by editing actinicsearch.js and looking for the line:

AddEvent(window,"load",AddAutoSuggest);

Amend it to be:

// AddEvent(window,"load",AddAutoSuggest);

If you want this removed only on the Quick Search and kept on the Advanced Search, that's much more complex.

Thanks Norman,

Line duly commented out and note added to script changes.

Have a good new year

Here's how to do it selectively so you can still have it on the Advanced Search capability.
Edit actinicsearch.js (remove tweak from above) and look for the line:

if (document.forms[nIndex] && document.forms[nIndex].SS)

Replace it with:

if (document.forms[nIndex] && document.forms[nIndex].SS && (document.forms[nIndex].SS.getAttribute('class').indexOf('noauto') == -1))

Then add a class noauto to the search input fields you want to disable.
E.g. in layout Standard Quick Search Bar, change:

<input type="text" name="SS" size="18" value="Quick Search" onfocus="this.value='';" class="quick-search-text" />&nbsp;

To:

<input type="text" name="SS" size="18" value="Quick Search" onfocus="this.value='';" class="quick-search-text noauto" />&nbsp;

Does changing the ,js work when previewing the site offline.

I can't seem to get is to work. I am changing the .js code as above but it doesn't seem to work.

On the standard SD 2013 demo site I tried, autosuggest doesn't operate on the Preview pages.
