Using jquery and jquery-ui libraries we'll try to setup the autocomplete functionality on every textbox of advanced search page, we'll take advantage of Discovery Solr cores to add an additional search core for JSPUI.

Once finished our textboxes must work like this:

Administrators that use XMLUI interface will notice that Discovery functionality strongly increases searching and browsing by the use of layered navigation and textbox autocomplete among others. To achieve these goals an Apache Solr search server is deployed in [dspace-source]/dspace/solr to take care of all query-reponse handling.

First steps: Preparing JSPUI advanced search page
