-Autocomplete
Autocomplete works in a similar fashion to the general search functionalities.
Optimizely.Hawksearch.Client package contains classes which will correspond to the requests and responses provided by Hawksearch’s Autocomplete API.
AutocompleteRequest
AutocompleteResponse
However, it does not contain Search filters.
The Flow
Using only Optimizely.Hawksearch.Client
Create and populate an AutocompleteRequest object
Use the Autocomplete method of the SearchClient class (or its async counterpart)
public AutocompleteResponse<TProduct, TContent> Autocomplete<TProduct, TContent>(AutocompleteRequest searchRequest)
where TProduct : HawksearchProductItem
where TContent : HawksearchContentItem
public async Task<AutocompleteResponse<TProduct, TContent>> AutocompleteAsync<TProduct, TContent>(AutocompleteRequest searchRequest)
where TProduct : HawksearchProductItem
where TContent : HawksearchContentItem
Get the AutocompleteResponse object then map it to your business models
Â
Using both
Optimizely.Hawksearch.Client and Optimizely.Hawksearch.Connector
Build an AutocompleteRequest object by passing a keyword (string) to an AutocompleteRequestBuilder and its Fluent API
Use one of the Autocomplete methods of the SearchClient class show above
Get the AutocompleteResponse object then map it to your business models
A high-level example:
public AutocompleteResults Autocomplete(string keyword)
{
var request = new AutocompleteRequestBuilder()
.ForLanguage("en")
.DisplayFullResponse()
.Build(keyword);
//SearchClient _client
var response = _client.Autocomplete<HawksearchProductItem, HawksearchContentItem>(request);
var mappedResponse = MapAutocompleteResults(response);
return mappedResponse;
}
