Auto-suggestions are generated using a dimension search based on a search terms entered by the agent. Auto-suggestions are not accessed using the catalog search results page, but the autoSuggestJson.jsp
page, which is designed specifically for requesting auto-suggestion content collections from the Assembler and then rendering the results.
Auto-suggestions in Commerce Service Center are enabled by setting the autoSuggestURI
property in the /atg/commerce/custsvc/catalog/endeca/configuration.properties
file. The URI of the auto-suggestion content collection is used to create the URL that requests auto-suggestions. The number of characters that an agent enters into a search field before being provided with suggestions is set using the autoSuggestMinLength
property in the configuration.properties
file.
