Is autocomplete on your library home page?
This is especially true with use of the home page; the most highly trafficked portion of a library website. Enabling autocomplete is worth your time. Perhaps all it takes is pressing a radio button to enable autocomplete on your library’s whole discovery system. But if your users’ primary point of contact with the discovery system is your library home page, then you have a different issue. The discovery system’s autocomplete might not be plug-and-play.
Where is autocomplete?
In web browsers, autocomplete is done in the address bar (using items from the browser’s history) and in text boxes on frequently used pages, such as a search engine’s search box.
What is the important of the autocomplete?
Autocomplete helps to expedite the entry of long or complex words through using sophisticated NLP (natural language processing) algorithms to predict what a user will need. Although autocomplete is extremely familiar to most users in the smartphone environment, it plays a role in many other contexts as well.
