What is AutoSuggest and How To Tune It

AutoSuggest is the new technology used exclusively with the new Content UI, introduced in WebCenter Content 11.1.1.8

It is based on Oracle Application Developer Framework (ADF).

Many websites have implemented some type of this functionality.  This feature makes websites more user friendly and more efficient for user input.

AutoSuggest behavior in ADF adds a pull-down menu of suggested values to a text field.  The user can either click directly on a suggestion to enter it into the field, or navigate the list using the up and down arrow keys, selecting a value using the enter key. It is typically used for type ahead search suggestions.

 

How is it related to WebCenter Content?

AutoSuggest is used for the new Content User Interface introduced in WebCenter Content 11.1.1.8
