A fast, full-featured, open-source JavaScript library for building accessible autocomplete experiences. It provides a headless core and a ready-to-use JS renderer that works with any virtual DOM solution and data source, including Algolia indices.
Use cases
- add autocomplete search suggestions to a website
- build an accessible combobox or typeahead input
- create a command palette / spotlight-style search modal
- show recent searches and query suggestions as users type
- power documentation search with Algolia DocSearch
- build a custom search dropdown with React, Vue, or vanilla JS
When to choose
- you need a production-ready, accessible (WAI-ARIA) autocomplete or combobox
- you want full control over rendered DOM while keeping interactivity handled for you
- you use Algolia or want pluggable custom data sources
- you need a command palette or modal search experience
When to avoid
- you need a full search backend or indexing engine rather than a UI layer
- your project is not JavaScript-based
- you want a zero-dependency native HTML datalist
- you need server-side-only search rendering
