These code changes are made as part of GSoC 2020. This Pull Request contains changes made to Nominatim UI in order to provide suggestions to Nominatim DB.

The repository nominatim-indexing can be used to set up suggestions. This repository explains how to set up suggestions and how to use a hug API to create an endpoint to access these suggestions.

Once the elasticsearch indexing is complete, You can use the nominatim-ui to access these suggestions.

The following important things are to be set up in order for the suggestions to be accessible:

• In dist/config.js, Suggestions_Url needs to be updated with the url of your suggestions end point.
• The languages and other important name tags need to be updated on dist/assets/js/suggest.js.

The same changes mentioned here can be used to set up suggestions on any website. Few things like icon links need to be changed in suggest.js.

File changes description:

• config.example.js: Added the suggestions endpoint as one of the parameters.
• search.html: search bar now uses suggest.js to provide suggestions.
• suggest.js: Makes the network calls on input and fetches the results. This script is responsible for providing suggestions.
• suggest.css: Few classes used to display the suggestions as an Unordered list with icons.
