Autocomplete For Relevanssi

by jojaba

Description

This plugin is meant to add the word autocomplete in search input field by using the index stored in Relevanssi database. So you have to install first Relevanssi (free or premium version) to have it to work.

The JS script used to accomplish the autocompletion work has been developed by Lea Verou and is called Awesomplete. It is very simple to set up, lightweight and accessible.

Faq

Could this plugin work without Relevanssi plugin installed?

No, sorry.

Is this plugin working for both free and premium Relevanssi plugin?

Yes.

Can the box also display a search results list?

No sorry. For the moment it shows up only indexed words. But maybe the results list displaying feature will be added in a future version of Autocomplete for Relevanssi… 😉

Reviews

Dangerous, do not use

By Mikko Saari (msaari) on March 18, 2020

Relevanssi author here. Please do not use this plugin in its current form. It's dangerous for performance and may cause server crashes. It will also slow down page loads in a rather terrifying manner.

Nice but buggy

This is a nice plugin but it breaks my customised search box. The search box doesn't display properly unless No Style is selected, and even then once you start typing into the search box, the drop-down has no border and looks silly. Other than that, it's a promising plugin and would be a nice feature to have.

Perfect

Almost Perfect
