Hi all,

Is it possible to attach an 'eCommerce autocomplete like' feature to the CMS Search module? If so - how is this done?

I have been thinking about storing comma separated keywords in a table when a user saves a page and then query that table while the user types in the search terms - or would it be better to query the index server? I have no experience in the latter.

Any feedback is appreciated.


Sonni T.

Hi Sonni.

Index is the way to go IMO. I don't think this is standard but you can build your own.

Hi Mikkel,

 

Thank You for giving me a clue :-) I have read the article and downloaded the example code for making the Index. I have build the dll's an copied them to the bin-folder. The new index appears in the Management Center / Searching - but whenever I try to build the index it fails with the error shown below.

 

Any clues as to what I am doing wrong?
