# iv.Auto Complete

The Auto-Complete Search feature enhances search efficiency by dynamically suggesting matching values as you type. This ensures quick and accurate selection of items, reducing manual input errors.

## **How to Use**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Auto-Complete is enabled by default in **Facet Filter (Text Area view type)** and **Bulk Copy-Paste**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Start typing in the **Text Area** or **Bulk Copy-Paste** search bar. Matching full words will appear in the background as suggestions.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Press **Tab** to select the suggested full word and press **Enter** to select the word you typed.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
In **Bulk Copy-Paste**, adding a **delimiter** (such as a comma or newline) automatically confirms the matching item.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Auto-Complete suggestions will only appear if the entered query matches an **existing item in the category**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.inforiver.com/super-filter/features/2.-search/iv.auto-complete.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
