The Dimension Search Auto-Suggest cartridge populates the auto-suggest panel with a list of dimension values based on the current search query.
Auto-suggest dimension results display dimension values related to an end user's search query. This allows the user to quickly narrow a search to dimensions most likely to return the desired results.
An example of the Dimension Search Auto-Suggest cartridge is shown below in the Discover Electronics sample application:
