Examining Google's Autocomplete Functionality
Learn to build and style an effective autocomplete search component inspired by Google's design. Understand how to handle cases like multiple results, bolding matches, canceling requests, and client-server interactions. Gain insights into performance considerations including caching and request management along with practical use of browser devtools during development.
Let’s do a little exploring to account for all the edge cases that aren’t apparent at first, but might affect our implementation.
Case 1: #
When there exist multiple results of the same string, the detail is added after a hyphen
Case 2: #
Results seem to assume for some autocorrect, and therefore won’t always be prefixed by what’s in the input bar. In such cases, the entire result is bolded.
