--- Comment #4 from Owen Leonard <oleonard at myacpl.org> ---
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."
