Simply install it through the top menu Extras > Installer and search for SimpleSearch. Install it from there. After installing it, it is recommended to clear your MODX cache, through the top menu Manage > Clear Cache.

This is currently alpha software and is only compatible with MODX 3.x and higher. This has been tested on basic search queries, but you may encounter problems with more advanced setups.

A processor has been provided for retrieving a list of search suggestions based on a Template Variable containing a comma delimited list of search terms. You can configure the TV to use by setting simplesearch.autosuggest_tv, which can either be the TV name or id.

You can use the example (requires jQuery) code below for retrieving a list of search suggestions.

$('.simplesearch-search-form input[type="text"]').on('keyup', function () {
    var value = $(this).val();

    $.ajax({
        url         : '/assets/components/simplesearch/connector.php?action=web/autosuggestions&search=' + value,
        dataType    : 'JSON',
        complete    : function (result) {
            console.log(result.results);
        }
    });
});
