How is this module supposed to work? [#1811208]

I've enabled the module, along with the latest version of apache solr search, but none of my search blocks have any sort of autocomplete on them.

Is there a configuration menu I haven't found that I need to use to setup the autocomplete? Is this module supposed to "just work" with the current search blocks, but it's failing?

Some documentation would be great, so I could know whether I need to report a bug or check my configuration.

This module normally adds autocomplete to the normal search block as soon as it is enabled. Have you tested solr to be sure it is working for normal searches?

Yes, Solr is working for normal searches.

I don't see any errors in the logs from this module, even though it doesn't seem to be doing anything, which is part of my confusion.

Are you using Apachesolr Panels? Presently, this module will not affect apachesolr_panels_search_form or apachesolr_panels_search_block. There's a patch in the works #1491860: Add support for apachesolr_panels if that is part of your issue.

Thanks for the suggestion; however, I'm not currently using ApacheSolr Panels.

I found myself in a similar situation to the OP and discovered that I was using a custom search page, instead of the standard page or search block. The patch at http://drupal.org/node/1444038#comment-6703600 added autocomplete to my custom page. Bear in mind that this patch introduces a new error message that I'm trying to work through.

Unless this patch will be rolled into a near future release, I'd suggest a note about custom search pages on the module page and in README.txt. Otherwise, thanks a ton for this module. Saved my bacon.
