Autocomplete Fix

Replaced by Two Newer Modules

The original Autocomplete Fix module has been superseded by two complementary modules that take different approaches to the same problem:

• Autocomplete Hack — Encodes slashes in autocomplete queries so they aren’t swallowed by Drupal’s path parser.
• Autocomplete POST — Submits autocomplete search terms via POST header, bypassing the path parameter entirely.

Drupal 6 and 7 have a longstanding quirk where autocomplete fields (the ones that show search results as you type) get confused by the slash (/) character. In Drupal 6, everything after the first slash is ignored because the autocomplete query is sent as a path component. In Drupal 7 trailing slashes are similarly dropped.

Both modules are available on drupal.org:

• Autocomplete Hack
• Autocomplete POST
