  How can you change from instant search and faceting to a search bar with auto-completion? [SearchPlus](https://squarebit.co.uk/software/craft/searchplus) comes with an excellent sample template but this is set to instant search, which means all entries in the index are displayed. I want to have a search-bar only and when typing the search query the relevant entries start to appear (auto-completion).
  
  Also, if there is no excerpt field available in the indexed entries, would it be possible to create one, with Twig split?
  
  ```
  {% set paragraphs = entry.body|split('</p>') %}
  {% set firstParagraph = paragraphs|first ~ '</p>' %}
  
  {{ firstParagraph|raw }}
  
  ```
