Hi Sean

Struggling how to apply this: https://preview.keenthemes.com/html/metronic/docs/general/search

Context / Background:
I have previously used jquery-ui autocomplete and custom built ajax to pull results based on server-sql queries, using LIKE function.

BUT it's unclear if there is an 'autocomplete' JS library in Metronic and it's unclear what the steps to implement are.

QUESTIONS:
1. DOES Metronic provides a library to perform similarly to JS-UI autocomplete:
-> Is there an equivalent to the JQuery UI autocomplete that is buried in the KT script-bundle that takes over? For example, "searchObject" the autocomplete function? If so, what are the requirements for this?

2. OR IF I still need to use ajax/autocomplete JS on top of KT search:
-> what is the input and output routes? do I post the value coming from const handleInput? or const inputField? or directly from the <input name="">?
-> what's the variable or field name that I send my AJAX response back to? I'm assuming it's "resultsElement", but if so, then why all the extra layer of coding with data-labels when I could just point to a $(selector)?

3. WHAT WOULD the steps to implement (and configure be).. assuming I add more than once, as I need to update the placeholder id names used by keenthemes (ie. which elements are safe to rename with breaking the functionality and which are required to be renamed for re-use)
-> do I replace my input ID to the const handleInput, element.querySelector("[my-data-input-attribute="input"]")
-> do I replace my input ID to the element = document.querySelector('#my_search_handler_basic');


I hope this makes sense. I am fully able to build search end-to-end (fullstack).. I understand the concepts, but I am not sure where and how Metronic Search fits into the end-to-end.

Thanks
