[Koha] How to start search suggestion in OPAC

[Viktor.Sarge at regionhalland.se]

I recall that there is a system parameter that handles what is supposed to happen when you get no results. I think this would be useful to trigger calling an external API for help with the spelling. Here in Sweden our national library run such an API based on the records in the national bibliography. Such a solution would be helpful even if you dont get suggestions based on your own records.

That means when
a user will search in search box he will be shown the related items
available in our koha database. The best example is Google search, as Google
shows suggestion under the term.

This feature does not exist in Koha. The closest thing Koha has is the
"Did you mean?" feature, which only returns results from authority
records:
