getCompletions

getCompletions retrieves potential completions for a partially typed query. It can be used by a custom client to implement autocomplete as the user is typing.

Parameters:

• profile - Required. Specifies which profile you're working with.

• term - Required. The partially typed term to get completions for.

Output: Zero or more Completion elements are returned. Their text content is a potential completion, and each completion has attributes:

• profile - the profile this completion came from.

• score - the score for this completion. Completions are ranked according to score, which can be derived from occurrences in the content, queries, and search user clicks.
