This is really interesting, and works well. However, I'm concerned about the possibility of confusion on the part of the user.
My assumption is that if a user is familiar with how autocomplete works, they will assume that autocomplete is pulling from a list of existing values. I think it will be confusing for a patron to select from the suggested Wikipedia terms only to find that nothing in the catalog matches.
It's nonsensical to see in the suggestions an entry like "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 (disambiguation)."
A partial solution might be to add more explicit labeling to the autocomplete. Something like, "Search terms by Wikipedia" or something like that. I would suggest that the preference be renamed as well to something like "OPACWikipediaSearchSuggestions."
I'd go along with that - I had trouble thinking what to call this feature when I was writing it! I'll change the naming. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
