2. add the line require_once("$IP/extensions/UniversalSuggester/UniversalSuggester.php"); to your LocalSettings.php

Setup

Go to the method initUS_RequestManager in UniversalSuggester.php and modify the variables $a_suggesters (suggesters in use) and $a_defaultNS (namespaces to check for queries) to fit your needs.

Usage

Credits

This extension uses the fabulous jquery library (v1.4.2). Additionally a slightly modified version of the jQuery plugin Autocomplete 1.0.2 by Dylan Verheul, Dan G. Switzer, Anjesh Tuladhar, Jörn Zaefferer is used.

Also many thanks to the Twoonix Software GmbH for financial support and critical feedback which helped me a lot to finally make the code public.
