Automatic suggestions for wiki page names as in Google Suggest or Objectgraph-Free Dictionary I propose to investigate, whether we can offer this technique before users create new pages. Admittedly, it can cause heavy loads to network and databases. Automatic suggestions for wiki page names as in Google Suggest or Objectgraph-Free Dictionary Google has a beta implementation called "Google Suggest" that automatically suggests the terms ***while you type in the search field*** . You can try it out by clicking on the link below and for instance typing the word "wiki". ***While you are typing the word***, Google Suggest shows suggestions that would complete it (to accept the current suggested word you only need to use the right arrow in the keyboard) and go on typing or selecting terms from the list that appear. You can go on with the example completing the search terms wikipedia and so on. http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en This enhancement is targetting the same problem as my other proposal [4] but you now can see more and more internet sites offering such "live" searches. The technique behind this is described in [3].

we already have this, it's just disabled at the moment because it creates too much load.
Thanks. I need this. Where exactly can I read about this (in MediaWiki context, documentation, CVS ?), pls. can you post URLs here ?

The Lucene server version needs some fixes, but we could probably do this without reliance on the external server as well.
¿is this the same as? bug 974: "Did you mean . . ." search feature
(In reply to comment #5) > ¿is this the same as? > > bug 974: "Did you mean . . ." search feature Not *quite* but close to it.
Using Ajax/XMLHttpRequest techniques, the site [1] shows, how this proposal 2486 could be implemented for the Wikipedias. Using [1], you can select the user interface language and the Wikipedia language, you want "Search Suggest". I propose that someone of the developers feeling competent enough writes such a "MediaWikiSuggest" extension (it's relatively simple to write such "Ajax" applications; a good introduction with sample code can be found in the second Tutorial "Ajax Search Suggest" on [2]) [1] http://gollum.easycp.de/en/ [2] http://www.dynamicajax.com
now implemented ??? Then pay credits and: close
