--- Comment #11 from Joonas Kylmälä <joonas.kylmala at helsinki.fi> ---
Just a gentle reminder I would like to hear others' (especially people using
this feature) thoughts on the Elasticsearch vs Wikipedia approach to this. Also
have you thought about having this JavaScript code in OPACUserJS? I tried to
put it there and it worked flawlessly. Would it be OK solution if we just
documented the steps in wiki for example on how to add this feature to the
syspref?

Some potential pros & cons:

Elasticsearch:
+ user queries stay within Koha instance, no privacy leak
+ tailored suggestions for the Koha database
- more difficult to implement

Wikipedia:
+ simple to implement
- suggestion feature availability depends on wikipedia
- search queries go to third party server
+/- suggestions might provide no results / not tailored to the Koha database
