AutoComplete Field

In 9.2, we can select the data source for AutoSuggest or AutoComplete for AutoSuggest servlet and the faceted search plugin.
The three different data sources for AutoSuggest are

Title - The suggestions would be from the title field values
Content - The suggestions would be from the content indexed
Query - The suggestions would be from query logs
By default, the data source would be Query, where the suggestions would come up from query logs. If the user would like to change the source of AutoSuggest to Title or Content, the user can select the corresponding value for the AutoComplete field.

Case-Sensitive Search

By default, the case-sensitive search is enabled, and all search terms are automatically converted to lower case in both regular and faceted search. Case-sensitive search is recommended to users who want to search abbreviations or those who use BOOLEAN operators such as AND, OR, and NOT. To enable case-sensitive search, set the value to “yes” for case-sensitive search.

Uploading Search Plugins

Custom plugins for faceted search can be uploaded from search settings.

To upload the plugin, upload the zip file of the plugin.

Next, access the plugin using the link:
http://localhost:8080/searchblox/angular/index.html
Make sure that in the zip file the plugin folder has been renamed to angular (or any name you prefer).
You can find the folder in <SEARCHBLOX_INSTALLATION_PATH>/webapps/searchblox
If you need to replace the existing plugin folder, name the file plugin.zip.
Also make sure that the archive file has the contents of the plugin folder only (that is, index.html is available in that folder itself), otherwise your URL may vary based on the folder names used.
