Hi,

the search result is combined. e.g. if there are 3 matching suggestions and normal search would return 5 more we combine these results. We make sure, that there are no duplicate results when the same properties are provided by suggester AND normal search.

Hey!

Only now catching up ofter some travel. This is working pretty nicely. One
question though:

So, if there are 3 mathing suggestions, but a normal search would return 5 more
matches, are these combined? Or is the normal search only triggered when there
are *no* matching suggestions?

Btw, it would be nice to highlight the search term/prefix in the suggestion
window, but that has nothing to do with the suggester as such... I suppose that
would be a feature of the basic entity selector.
