--- Comment #13 from Henry Bolshaw <bolshawh at parliament.uk> ---
I think it would be good to have this functionality in Koha itself rather than
OpacUserJS because this would:

- make the functionality more visible to users and therefore increase the
number of people using and benefitting from the functionality
- improve the feature documentation e.g. we can add info to the manual
- increase the potential number of users and developers working with the
feature making it more likely that it will iterate and improve (if we add the
code to the wiki then it will probably remain there unchanged indefinitely)

We probably wouldn't use this feature in our library currently - the wikipedia
search suggestions don't match the titles in our collection very well although
I'm sure they do work for some other libraries - so an elasticsearch version
based on the koha database would be preferable. However, I agree with Katrin
that we don't have to choose one: we can have both this version and an
elasticsearch version at a later date.
