    Hi, thanks for keeping this plugin active. Has saved us a huge amount of development time.

    I was curious if you have any plans to update the autocomplete.js library to the latest v1 (1.8.3 at this time)?

    Thanks very much.

    Hi, I know I definitely want to, but there’s complications that we haven’t figured out how we want to handle yet.

    We have an open GitHub issue at https://github.com/WebDevStudios/wp-search-with-algolia/issues/232 about the topic, and there’s been some discussion.

    One of our big issue topics is how the Autocomplete is created:

    <!-- Autocomplete v0.x -->
<input id="autocomplete" />

<!-- Autocomplete v1.x -->
<div id="autocomplete"></div>

    At least with 0.x, we could easily attach to search fields because of WordPress search making use of name="s" attributes for the search form functions. Made it a breeze. Autocomplete v1.x does a lot more on its own, and just needs a div to attach itself to, which…we can’t control very well, or likely auto-locate for easy out of box experience.
