Hi,

I would like to implement a product search (with auto suggest). the twist which i'm trying to achieve is not to show a results page but forward the user directly to the best (1st) result. Any ideas how to achieve this?

You could choose to only render the first item in the result (use if tag to check this) or use javascript to redirect to the url of the first item in the result.

Make shure that you handle the case where the search results in "no items found".
