Autocomplete - General
While Fast Simon automatically blends into your site’s style, this tab provides additional options to configure the Autocomplete drop down.
The drop down list includes three configurable components:
- Product and/or Category Suggestions relevant to what the customer is looking for.
- Popular Searches relevant to what the customer is typing.
- Banner that can be used for a specific promotion such as a gift card, etc.
The configurations that can be made are as follows.
General
- Product suggestion position - Top [default] drop down box or Bottom up box.
- Max number of product suggestions - 0-10 [4 is the default].
- Max popular search suggestions - 0-10 [4 is the default].
- Title Language - Auto [default] or force a specific language for product titles. This feature affects both Autocomplete and Search Results.
- Disable categories suggestions – when checked, do not show category suggestions [unchecked by default].
- Hide product descriptions – when checked does not show product descriptions [checked by default].
- The default is not to show products that are not sellable based on your store inventory management policy.
- Enable on IE9 and below browsers - Fast Simon does not support IE9 and below versions due to their tiny market share, and the fact that due to these browser technology, auto-completion may not work 100% of the time. However, due to some customer's requests, we allow to enable service although we do not recommend it.
- Popular products on focus – once turned on, while a customer click on the searchbox without entering any search terms, the site’s popular products will appear.
