Large improvements for search field autocompletion
The Search API Autocomplete module has for some years now been a popular way to add autocomplete suggestions to search fields while the user is typing. However, even though the module was popular, it had several problems and restrictions – primarily, the way the suggestions are computed only reflect the words that are indexed on the search server, not the keywords that users actually searched for. Changing this was possible (as is nearly everything else in Drupal, after all), but cumbersome, and not directly supported in any way by the module.
But, these days are now finally over with the release 1.4 of the module!
