Disabling Live Search while Typing also disables auto suggest phrase click.

Hi Ernest,

As per the ASP documentation, In order to increase performance, I am disabling the “Trigger Live Search when Typing” https://imgur.com/a/95gC2dX and allowing the results to be displaying Only after pressing the Enter key.

Now the performance seems to be little improved, But now, while clicking on the Auto-suggested phrases (in case of No results found, it displays some suggested words). Clicking on any of those words does not do anything. https://imgur.com/a/EopAxYZ
Am I missing any settings for this. Please suggest.

Thanks

Hi,

In that case, the keyword should be only filled to the input field, but it will not trigger the search or anything. Does it not fill the search input field either?

Well, the only way is using a custom code. Try adding this code to the functions.php file in your theme/child theme directory – make sure to have a full server back-up first for safety. For more details you can check the safe coding guidelines.

add_action('wp_footer', 'wp_footer_asp_trigger_on_suggest');
function wp_footer_asp_trigger_on_suggest() {
	?>
	<script>
	jQuery(function($) {
		$('body div').on('click', '.asp_keyword', function(){
			console.log('on');
			ASP.api(
				$(this).closest('.asp_r').data('id'), 
				$(this).closest('.asp_r').data('instance'),
				'searchRedirect',
				$(this).text()
			);
		});
	});
	</script>
	<?php
}

Unfortunately I can not guarantee this is going to work in all cases.

Best,
Ernest Marcinko
