Upgrade risks

First of all: ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE UPDATING!

Upgrading to 2.0.0 from 1.* is highly recommended, but it does introduce some risks.

Important changes from 1.* to 2.0.0:

• The namespace has been changed from sisea to simplesearch. If you're using custom System Settings, then please migrate them.
• The ElasticSearch and SOLR drivers have been removed, because they were in need of improvements. Future drivers should be seperate addons. Feel free to ask us for help here.

Autosuggest

A processor has been provided for retrieving a list of search suggestions based on a Template Variable containing a comma delimited list of search terms. You can configure the TV to use by setting simplesearch.autosuggest_tv, which can either be the TV name or id.

You can use the example (requires jQuery) code below for retrieving a list of search suggestions.

$('.simplesearch-search-form input[type="text"]').on('keyup', function () {
    var value = $(this).val();

    $.ajax({
        url         : '/assets/components/simplesearch/connector.php?action=web/autosuggestions&search=' + value,
        dataType    : 'JSON',
        complete    : function (result) {
            console.log(result.results);
        }
    });
});
