Summary

autocomplete.mov

Adds an option to use auto-complete instead of search-as-you-type. So instead of getting search results as you type, you get suggestions for search queries as you type.

Hits a new REST API endpoint, and a new Elasticsearch index.

Testing instructions

Apply this 214458-ghe-Automattic/wpcom on your sandbox.

Sandbox the public API

Must use a Jurassic Tube or Jurassic Ninja (or other site with an active Jetpack connection and a Jetpack Search subscription).
Enable the option in jetpack search settings to enable search suggestions

Try typing a search query. You should see some suggestions for search queries. If you click on one, it will execute the search.

If you want to test on the fieldguide, do the following
Sandbox these sites:
fieldguide.automattic.com
automattictraining.wordpress.com

Run this on your sandbox to get this branch for jetpack

~/public_html/bin/jetpack-downloader test jetpack jps3-search-suggestions

Do not checkout trunk, but rather stay on the jetpack-search-auto-complete branch.

You must visit the fieldguide while logged in, but you must also avoid HSTS / SSL errors. Search the field guide for "ssl chrome" to see suggestions on how to avoid SSL issues.

Are you an Automattician? Please test your changes on all WordPress.com environments to help mitigate accidental explosions.

  • To test on WoA, go to the Plugins menu on a WoA dev site. Click on the "Upload" button and follow the upgrade flow to be able to upload, install, and activate the Jetpack Beta plugin. Once the plugin is active, go to Jetpack > Jetpack Beta, select your plugin (Jetpack), and enable the jps3-search-suggestions branch.
  • To test on Simple, run the following command on your sandbox:
bin/jetpack-downloader test jetpack jps3-search-suggestions
