how to use this plugin?

[benya]

I am currently using the jquery.easy-autocomplete.min.js plugin and the JSON plugin to display search form hints.

At the moment it works like this:

{layout:set name="js"}

<script>

var options = {

	url: "/search/json",

	getValue: "title"

};

$("#search-input").easyAutocomplete(options);

</script>

{/layout:set}

{exp:search:simple_form channel="news" form_id="search" return_page="search/results"}

	<input class="form-control" id="search-input" name="keywords">
	<input type="submit" value="Submit">

{/exp:search:simple_form}

JSON plugin displays hints

/search/json

{exp:json:entries channel="news" fields="title|entry_id"}

In this implementation, the "/search/json" template displays all the material that exists on the site.

How can I remake page "/search/json" so that it only shows material for a search query?

I see in the documentation there is a method "exp:json:search" but I don't know how
implement it correctly

{exp:json:search search_id="{segment_3}"}
or?

{exp:search:search_results channel="news"}
{exp:json:search search_id="{segment_3}"}
{/exp:search:search_results}

Try the search parameter of the {exp:json:entries} tag
e.g. {exp:json:entries channel="news" fields="title|entry_id" search:"[SEARCH PARAMETERS]"}

You can use the same search parameters as the {exp:channel:entries} tag.
You can find information on search parameters over here: https://docs.expressionengine.com/latest/channels/entries.html#searchfield_name

Examples if you want to search news posts for the word "music" in the body field :

• {exp:json:entries channel="news" fields="title|entry_id" search:body="music"}
  This will return all entries that contain the word "music". Entries with the word "musician" or "popmusic" will also be returned.

• {exp:json:entries channel="news" fields="title|entry_id" search:body="music\W"}
  If you add \W to your search term it will only return entries that contain the word "music" as a whole separate word. Entries with the word "musician" or "popmusic" will not be returned.

I was wondering if you got it working :)

Thanks :) This method works too

Can I have another example of how to use the "json:search" method?

{exp:json:search search_id="{segment_3}"}
