Autocomplete Form
The autocomplete feature provides instant search results as visitors type in the navigation search form.
#How It Works
When search is enabled in the navigation (nav-search setting), clicking the search icon opens a search drawer. As you type, Algolia returns matching results instantly - typically in under 50 milliseconds.

#Features
- Instant results - matches appear after the first few characters
- Typo tolerance - finds results even with spelling mistakes
- Multi-index search - searches across portfolio items, blog posts, and pages simultaneously
- Highlighted matches - search terms are highlighted in results
#Configuration
Autocomplete is configured through the WP Search with Algolia plugin settings. The theme automatically integrates with the plugin search form.
Make sure your Algolia credentials are set in both:
- Settings > Algolia Search (plugin settings)
- Appearance > Customize > API Keys (theme settings)
Index your content after major content updates. Go to Algolia Search settings and re-index to ensure new portfolio items and posts appear in search results.
