OpenSearch API Autocomplete

A compact interface experiment centered on search and suggestion.

What the prototype does

This project uses the OpenSearch API to drive autocomplete suggestions inside a form, then follows the selected Wikipedia result into a deeper query that fills seven biographical fields automatically. The interface moves from search term to article to structured form values in a single interaction flow.

In practice, that makes the form feel less like blank data entry and more like an interface that is negotiating with an existing public knowledge source.

Why it belongs in Projects

The interesting part is not only that the prototype works. It is that search suggestion, public data, and form design all become visible as one interface problem.

This is a small but complete example of technical behavior carrying a design argument: the user is guided by external data structures rather than left alone with an empty form.
