TYPO3 Extension: Autocomplete for IndexedSearch
===============================================

[](#typo3-extension-autocomplete-for-indexedsearch)

This extension adds autocomplete functionality to TYPO3 indexed search fields.

[![TYPO3 Indexed Search autocomplete suggestions](/Documentation/Images/autocomplete-for-indexedsearch.png)](/Documentation/Images/autocomplete-for-indexedsearch.png)

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Supports TYPO3 12, 13 and 14
- No further dependencies
- Comes with limited styling for easy customizability
- Handles inputs with multiple words

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The recommended way to install Autocomplete for IndexedSearch is by using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org):

```
composer require rkl/autocomplete-for-indexedsearch
```

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

### 1. Include the static TypoScript of the extension

[](#1-include-the-static-typoscript-of-the-extension)

1. Go to Site Management -&gt; TypoScript
2. Open your TypoScript template and click "Edit the whole TypoScript record"
3. In the tab "Advanced Options", include the TypoScript set: "Autocomplete for Indexed Search (autocomplete\_for\_indexedsearch)"

### 2. Override the Form.html template from indexed\_search

[](#2-override-the-formhtml-template-from-indexed_search)

1. Copy the partial from `EXT:indexed_search/Resources/Private/Partials/Form.html` to your own site package, for example to `EXT:my_sitepackage/Resources/Private/IndexedSearch/Partials/Form.html`
2. Add your partial root path to the plugin configuration of Indexed Search in the TypoScript of your site package:

```
plugin {
  tx_indexedsearch {
    view {
      partialRootPaths.200 = EXT:site_package/Resources/Private/IndexedSearch/Partials/
    }
  }
}

```

### 3. Place the ViewHelper to render suggestions

[](#3-place-the-viewhelper-to-render-suggestions)

Add the ViewHelper `` to your overridden `Form.html`. It renders the container in which suggestions will be displayed.

```

```

*Add the ViewHelper wherever it suits your styling needs the best. Ideally it's placed close to the search field. Also remember to add the namespace `RKL/AutocompleteForIndexedSearch/ViewHelpers` like shown in the example.*

#### ViewHelper attributes

[](#viewhelper-attributes)

The `autocompleteSuggestions` ViewHelper provides the following attributes to manipulate the behavior of the autocomplete suggestions:

AttributeAllowed valuesDescriptionsearchonclick*bool* (`0`/`1`)defines whether to instantly submit the search form when a suggestion is clickedminlength*int*minimum string length of the search term for autocompletion to start### Optional: Add a Route Enhancer

[](#optional-add-a-route-enhancer)

For prettier autocomplete URLs you can add the autocomplete page type to your routeEnhancers:

```
routeEnhancers:
  PageTypeSuffix:
    type: PageType
    index: ''
    map:
      search-autocomplete: 7603976
```

MySQL fulltext search
---------------------

[](#mysql-fulltext-search)

This extension relies on the index tables created by indexed\_search. It does not work if the "Use MySQL specific fulltext search" (`basic.useMysqlFulltext`) configuration is enabled.
