AJAX Auto-Complete for the Journal Search
The Journal Search and eBook Search include a configuration option to enable AJAX based automatic completion of titles during searches in the eBook Search and the Titles search tab of the Journal Search.
When the AJAX feature is activated, an auto-complete drop-down list presents a preview of the search results and suggests titles to be used as search terms when you begin to type in the search box.
The following is an example of an auto-complete drop-down list:
Auto-Complete
Auto-complete is available only with Starts with and Contains searches. When AJAX is enabled, the Exact search option is not displayed, since clicking a title within the auto-complete list for either the Starts with or Contains search has the same result as an Exact search.
If more than 10 results are found, only the first 10 results are displayed. In this case, to benefit from the auto-complete list, choose a more specific title search term.
You can either select a title from the auto-complete list or you can click Go to execute a title search with the search term entered manually in the Title box.
The text of the more results available message is configurable in the Translation & Display section. For more information, see Translations and Display.
Configuring AJAX Auto-Complete for the Journal Search
To activate AJAX auto-complete:
- Select Enable Ajax for title search from the Display section. For more information, see Display.
- If the following template has been customized or a symbolic link to the file in sfxglb41 has been broken, you must copy the file from sfxglb41 and re-customize it:
exlibris/sfx_ver/sfx4_1/<instance>/templates/azlist_ver3/title_head.tmpl
The AJAX feature appears in the Journal Search only with the latest version of the template file.
