Remove limitations in Auto-complete

Why

Sometimes the user interface in the autocomplete function is designed to prevent the user to enter more text as soon as it sees that the local search engine will not generate any hits. This is sometimes done by showing the message "no hits found" already in the auto-complete canvas, which will lead to the user not completing its query. This will not give Theca a chance to help the user with the whole query sentence that was intended. ​

Alternatives we advise against

Integrating Theca into the Auto-complete so you send Theca a request for every keystroke: Theca is not designed to substitute the onsite search engine or to be used as "Auto-complete filler". The input to Theca should be whole query strings, the more specific the better and preferably not pieces of keywords. ​
