-// IMPORTANT: This page refers to features that were added in VuFind 1.1; if you are using an earlier release, please upgrade. //
 ===== Configuring Suggestions =====
-Autocomplete functionality can be enabled, disabled or configured through settings in [[searches.ini]].  Each search type defined in your basic search type drop-down can be assigned its own custom autocomplete handler.  The currently available handlers and configuration details can be found in the comments above the [Autocomplete] and [Autocomplete_Types] sections of [[searches.ini]].

The currently available handlers and configuration details can be found in the comments above the [Autocomplete] and [Autocomplete_Types] sections of [[configuration:files:searches.ini]].
 ===== Building Custom Suggestions =====
-==== VuFind 1.x ====
+Autocomplete handlers are standard VuFind® [[development:plugins|plug-ins]]; more details can be found on the [[development:plugins:autosuggesters]] plugin page.
-All of the autocomplete handlers can be found in the web/sys/Autocomplete folder of your VuFind installation.  To create your own handler, simply implement the interface found in [[https://vufind.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vufind/trunk/web/sys/Autocomplete/Interface.php|Interface.php]] in that folder.  Ensure that the class name and filename match.  You can then configure your custom handler just like any of the existing handlers, using the usual [[searches.ini]] settings described above.

 The current default autocomplete handler uses a fairly simple Solr lookup.  Here are some more sophisticated approaches which may be worth pursuing:
-The [[http://wiki.apache.org/solr/TermsComponent|TermsComponent]] that is new in Solr 1.4 may be an appropriate Solr search handler to get suggestions from. But left hand truncation is still not possible with that.

+  * On [[https://lucidworks.com/post/auto-suggest-from-popular-queries-using-edgengrams/]] Jay Hill outlines using EdgeNGrams to set up autocomplete against popular queries parsed from the Solr logs.
-On [[http://www.mattweber.org/2009/05/02/solr-autosuggest-with-termscomponent-and-jquery/]] Matt Weber basically describes one way to set up autocomplete fields using TermComponent and JQuery.
+  * A more modern approach worth investigating would be to use Solr's native [[https://solr.apache.org/guide/solr/latest/query-guide/suggester.html|Suggester component]], which did not yet exist when VuFind®'s autocomplete logic was originally implemented.
