Xapian discuss - Mar 2008 - xapian and autocomplete?

Hi,

does anybody know how to realise a autocomplete Searchinput like (for example)
google?

Thanks.

Greetings.

Sascha

Thats not something that xapian would provide.

You will need a database of words/phrases to match against. Your fav
scripting language (PHP etc), and some javascript to do the ajax calls
as people type.

A quick google finds an example using jquery and php..

You would then just pass the keywords to xapian as usual.
