How to prevent Multi-Valued Suggest Box from requesting suggestions

[milan....@gmail.com]

Hi,

is it possible to enable/disable MVSB (v1.1) from requesting suggestions? I'm trying to prevent it from getting suggestions when a user types a query+ENTER before the timer elapses, so it doesn't show suggestions along with search results. 

regards,

Milan

Hi Milan,

I'm not quite sure I understand your question, but if you want 0 suggestions to display, you could have your REST endpoint return 0 results for the combination that you want to prevent from showing.  If this does not help, could you please describe what you are trying to achieve in more detail, or with an example perhaps?

Thanks,
Bess

sure, here's the thing: there's a KeyUpHandler in my MultivalueSuggestBox that runs search if the key was ENTER.

Let's say the suggest timer is 1sec. What happens when i type a keyword and press enter in less than 300ms? 

I run search for that keyword and then after 1sec the suggest timer elapses and gets suggestions. In this case

i don't want suggestions, i already know what i want to search for and run my search. 

So, I'd like to cancel the RestSuggestOracle.m_timer in a MultivalueSuggestBox.addKeyUpHandler, but it's private. 

You see what I mean?

I see what you mean.  Unfortunately, there isn't a way to cancel that timer at this time.  One way to workaround the issue might be temporarily putting a class name on the body of your page which will set the pop-up's display:none.  This way it won't show up when the timer lapses, but will appear again once the class name has been removed.

Having m_timer private maybe makes sense (hiding impl details..), but what was the rationale for hiding the whole oracle? It seems like a natural extension point...

Opening the oracle makes a lot of sense.  We'll try to get that in on the next release.  Thanks for the suggestion!
