## Autocomplete Sources

Currently four different autocomplete sources are supported:

* Google keyword suggestions
* The search statistics database
* Post titles
* Post tags

You can multiple sources at the same time. Use the drag-and-drop box to select which sources you would like to use. **The order matters**.

The plugin will go through the selected sources (in order) until a keyword is returned.

## Maximal keyword length & exceptions

The maximal keyword length is definable, to avoid lengthy suggestions. Keywords above the defined length (60 by default) will be ignored.

You can type in the keywords you don't want to see as keyword suggestions. Use comma "," as a separator.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://documentation.ajaxsearchpro.com/autocomplete-and-keyword-suggestions/autocomplete.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
