The Search AutoComplete module for AbleCommerce provides users with the suggested queries as they type their query in the search box. It enables users to quickly find and select from a pre-populated list of values as they type, leveraging searching and filtering.

By giving an auto-complete field focus or entering something into it, the plugin starts searching for entries that match and displays a list of values to choose from. By entering more characters, the user can filter down the list to better matches.

Common search prefixes and search terms are defined in the merchant admin panel. Search terms and prefixes can be easily populated in bulk.

The control makes use of jQuery autocomplete and is flexible to be customized by the user.
