Description:
To use a SearchStax server with the Search API Autocomplete module, this module provides the “SearchStax” suggester plugin which uses the SearchStax /emsuggest endpoint to retrieve suggestions. For configuring this suggester, the user previously had to go to the global SearchStax settings form (/admin/config/search/searchstax) and fill in the “Auto-suggest core” option. However, this made it impossible to configure autosuggest for more than one server on the same site.
This setting was now moved to the server entities such that you can set different values in case you are using multiple SearchStax apps on the same site.
- For SearchStax apps using Token Authentication, the new setting will be right in the connection settings. Below the fields for the update endpoint and the token you will see a new “Auto-suggest core” field where you can enter the “core” part of the auto-suggest endpoint.
- For SearchStax apps using Basic Authentication, the field will instead appear in the “Advanced” section of the server setting.
In both cases, the old global setting will be automatically migrated to the matching server, but for other SearchStax servers on your site you will manually have to provide the auto-suggest endpoint to be able to use autocomplete with them.
