Created attachment 11348 [details] [review] Add search suggestions to search results on the OPAC. This patch will add search suggestions at the beginning of search results on the OPAC if the "OPACSearchSuggestions" preference is activated. This feature can be compared to "Did you mean?" or autocorrect features in search engines. Authorities records are used as a source of suggestions. The search terms the user entered are used in a "see also" authority search to find suggestions.

A duplicate of Bug 8209?
Duplicate of Bug 4240
Actually, I disagree with both the earlier suggestions. I think this is a duplicate of bug 7417, since the idea is that it will suggest relevant records based on see from fields in authority records.

To clarify, I think the end result is closer to bug 7417, even though the display looks more like 8209.
Not sure which this is a duplicate of... but now that we removed the prog OPAC template, this will need some work.
I rescued this, but I'm doubting if this is even needed. Perhaps it is best marked as a resolved duplicate of something?

It seems like this feature is now included in Koha. OK to close the bug? Or is this useful as a general discussion place for the feature? I wanted to comment on another, more specific, issue as I think we can agree Koha now does search suggestions but the manner in which it does so can be discussed separately.
I think this can be closed in favor or a more specific bug - looking at the code it seems very similar to the did you mean plugins. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 8209 ***
