Predictive Search Box - Can you control the delay time before results are shown?

Sarah Pengelly asked on September 24, 2015 17:07

Hi,

I have implemented a predictive search on a site using the smart search box. I was wondering if it was possible to control how quickly the predictive results start to show up? Can they be sped up or slowed down? Right now there is a quite a delay before the predictive results start appearing. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks,

Sarah

Hi Sarah,

You can change the JS where the predictive search is called :

~\CMS\CMSWebParts\SmartSearch\SearchBox_files\PredictiveSearch.js

On line 105 you can change the timeout :

me.timeout = setTimeout(function () { me.CallPredictiveSearch(query, query); }, 500); // set call timeout (start the search countdown)

But the delay of the predictive search depends also on how low the search is taking so it is also related with the performance from your website.

Good luck with programming!!!
