Hey Alan,

 

What kind of query string do you want to pass to the widget?  I'll ping you directly with some options.

Hi Kaela,

 

I am hoping to capture the Ask a Question query and display the results in the sidebar of the Compose post page. That way, even though the auto-suggest doesn’t work in the subject of the Compose post page (when you arrive from Ask a Question), the suggestion list would still be visible.

 

Perhaps it makes more sense to make a Search REST API call, based on the question that the user asked (value of the subject input), and then display the results in the sidebar. 

 

What do you think?
