                    autocomplete(options:completion:)

The Autocomplete Search feature can predict what a user is searching. The prediction is based on what they have already typed into the search field. It can identify entities within a user’s input and suggest them as potential search queries. This feature optimizes the accuracy of the search results by offering relevant suggestions and completing the user’s input.

Use Autocomplete Search to elevate your application by delivering swift, error-free searches, thus enhancing efficiency. This feature also stimulates user exploration, fostering engagement.

Example of an Autocomplete request the query “mat” for Amstardam in 100-km radius:

let options = AutocompleteOptions(
    query: "mar",
    position: .AMSTERDAM,
    radius: Measurement(value: 100, unit: .kilometers)
)
search.autocomplete(options: options) { result in
    if case let .success(response) = result {
        print("Autocomplete suggestions for query: \(response.summary.query)")
        response.results.forEach { result in
            result.segments.forEach { segment in
                switch segment {
                case .brand(let brand):
                    print("\(brand.brand.name) - brand")
                case .poiCategory(let category):
                    print("\(category.poiCategory.name) - category")
                case .plainText(let text):
                    print("\(text.plainText) - text")
                @unknown default:
                    print("unknown")
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

 // Prints:
 //   Autocomplete suggestions for query: mar
 //   Market - category
 //   Marqt - brand
 //   Marina - category
 //   Marriott - brand
