search suggestions for http server #266

Open desb42 opened 5 years ago

desb42 commented 5 years ago

In my branch search-suggestions is my attempt at making the http-server provide suggestions in the search bar.

This relies on some specific javascript code in myscript.js and mysearch-suggest.js in the attached zip bits.zip

This makes an Ajax call of the form http://localhost/en.wikipedia.org/search/term

where 'search' is a special trigger page on the http server and 'term' is the search term This uses the existing java code (adjusted to return a string of results)

These results are then processed by the client side javascript

Yup, makes perfect sense. Tried it out on my side, and can confirm it works well. Will incorporate it into the main branch when I return from vacation next week. Thanks!
