auto-completion.length

Background

This parameter sets the minimum length (in letters) of a query term before triggering auto-completion. Any query term with an equal or shorter length will not trigger auto-completion.

Setting the key

Set this configuration key in the results page (preferred) or search package configuration.

Use the configuration key editor to add or edit the auto-completion.length key, and set the value. This can be set to any valid Integer value.

Default value

The default value is 3, meaning that any partial queries 3 letters or longer will trigger auto-completion suggestions.

auto-completion.length=3

Examples

To have auto completion triggered at the first entered query letter:

auto-completion.length=1
