Add look ahead to the seach field in the new data catalog view #2363

Describe the bug With older versions of metacatui, the user on /data was able to serach for "Data attribute" (for example) benefiting of autocompletion / autocomplete / predictive text (not sure the good term in english sorry ;) ) so metacatui was proposing existing indexed terms (for example "Data Attribute" related term) when starting typing the term.

It seems to me this functionnality is not there any more but really important!

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to 'https://arcticdata.io/catalog/data'
  2. Then 'Data attribute'
  3. Start typing 'leng'
  4. No list of related terms

Expected behavior A list of all indexed terms starting with "leng" as "length" for example. Same using "densi"

Thanks for making an issue for this @yvanlebras ! The arctic data centre is using the new data catalog with the Cesium map rather than the Google map. This view uses different underlying UI elements, and you're right that the search field is missing the predictive text. We should add this feature back in.
