How to use suggestions/typeahead with overlay mode

If you are using the overlay widget integration you have the option to change the default behaviour of the input. By default when using the overlay configuration, the input mode is set to instant. This means searches are performed as you type.

You can override this behaviour by adding one line of code to your Search UI Widget JSON.

First find the "input" key in your JSON. It will look something like this:

"input": {
    "hide": false,
    "position": "top",
},

To change the mode, simple add "mode": followed by your chosen mode, after the "position" key. Like so:

"input": {
    "hide": false,
    "position": "top",
    "mode": "typeahead"
},
