Autocomplete

Cloud Talent Solution provides autocomplete suggestions for job titles and company names. Only active job postings and companies with at least one open job are considered eligible for suggestion results. Once a new job or company is added, it takes up to 48 hours for the information to be added to the autocomplete result set.

To use autocomplete, call the complete method when the search bar is updated.

Note: Language codes must be specified using the BCP-47 identifier. For example: en-US or zh-TW. Do not use abbreviated language codes such as en or zh.
