Trigger submit on result click

[jaredatch]

This isn't provided as an example and didn't appear in any past issues, so I wanted to note this for anyone who may search for this in the future.

If you want to trigger the form to submit on click, use the following:

onSelect: function(e,term,item) {
	$(document).find('input.search-autocomplete').each(function(index, el) {
		if ($(this).val() === term) {
			$(this).closest('form').submit();
		}
	});
}

Adjust .search-autocomplete to whatever the class is you are using on your text field. This also accomodate multiple search fields/forms on a page.

Probably would be a solid example to include in the documentation :)

how can i rearrange it with following @jaredatch

onSelect: function(e, term, item){
console.log('Item "'+item.data('langname')+' ('+item.data('lang')+')" selected by '+(e.type == 'keydown' ? 'pressing enter or tab' : 'mouse click')+'.');

                $('#search').val(item.data('langname'));
            }

I solved using this method:
onSelect: function(e,term){
document.getElementById("form_id").submit();
}
This will grab the suggested term from your autocomplete and trigger the form submit to start the search with a click
