In 'soft' mode

* There's no notification when the user enters free-text. How about 
triggering 'fb-select' with data=null ?

(I need notification so I can wipe any previously selected Freebase topic)

* And if you type a string that's not in freebase you still get the message:
"No suggested matches. Tips on getting better suggestions [snip]"

Since the developer is allowing free-text, perhaps the default message 
should just be "No suggested matches. Press enter to use this text".

To avoid using JSONP, it would be good to have an "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: 
*" header on the response, and for the script to load the JSON response data 
directly.

Please setup a Google Group that will notify all members of svn checkins or
issues (bugs).

I want to use Freebase Suggest as a topic picker for my own site. As part of 
this, I want to alter 
its behaviour slightly - when showing a list of results, I would like to move 
items that have 
previously been used on my site to the top of the suggestions list and visually 
highlight them 
(with an asterisk).

My ideal way of doing this would be to include a JavaScript array of items that 
have already been 
used on my site (which will normally be somewhere between 1 and 100 items long) 
on the page, 
and then customise Freebase Suggest, intercepting the incoming list of 
suggestions and 
bumping any that match my hard-coded list of IDs up to the top.

To do this, I need customisation hooks that allow me to:

1. Intercept the results returned by freebase before they are rendered by the 
widget
2. Modify the DOM elements used by Freebase Suggest to populate the suggestion 
list, as they 
are being created.

These hooks would be useful for much more than just my example here.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. they the example "Shows a MiniTopic (infobox type summary) for the
selected item" in internet explorer 7
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
the mini topic should show up like in firefox

Which web-browsers exhibit the problem?
only internet explorer 7

Please provide any additional information below.

There seems to be an issue with the fbs.create_list_item function.
It throws a li[o] has no properties error and is due to the following line:
li[0].fb_data = data;

If I may suggest:
Replace:
var frag = document.createDocumentFragment();
$(frag).append('<li class="fbs-li"></li>');
var li = $("> li", frag);

With:
var li = $('<li class="fbs-li"></li>');

shorter, achieves the same & works.

Guys,

Apologies, but I came across freebase today, and having looked at some 
examples, I cant seem to find what to use when i want to look at NHS 
Prescription services (ie: what chemists are available in certain areas)
I am talking about the ID to use in coding

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Apologies once again for hijacking this group, cant seem to find a forum to 
discuss freebase with other people/.

I didn't find a method in the API documentation to unbind the suggest feature 
already applied to an input text.

The only way I found is that given an html input with id "suggest" that has the 
suggest feature applied to, to call :
$("#suggest")
                .unbind(".suggest")
                .unbind("fb-select")
                .removeData("suggest");

could there be a method in the API to do something similar? 

Thanks and very nice plugin ! 

a good thing would be to be able to choose the language of the
suggestion. It would use all /lang/ of the topic.

The home page of the Google code project (ie this project) implies that the
project has moved, but the new "home" has no source control, no bug
reporting system, and this site (Google Code) appears to still be (semi-)live.

Can someone clarify the real location of the source control, bug reporting,
project web page, etc and update the old resources to point to the correct
place?

I actually think Google Code has a pretty good set of features for project
hosting, but if you're moving somewhere else, let's move everything (or be
clear about what's staying here)

Combine Freebase Suggest 4.1 with jQuery 1.9.0:

<html>
<form><input id="myinput"></form>
<script 
src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.0/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/freebase/suggest/4_1/suggest.js"></script>
<script>$(function() { $("#myinput").suggest({filter:'(all 
type:/film/director)'}); });</script>
</html>

What do you see?

"Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'msie' of undefined"
at line 245: ".bind($.browser.msie ? "paste.suggest" : "input.suggest", 
function(e) {"

Hi, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to intercept the form input before
it is sent to the public API. It would be great if I could, for example,
return false from the "fb-textchange" event handler in order to prevent the
autocompletion event from occurring. For example, if the form input is a
URL or URN I probably don't want to submit it to FreeBase since I'm
virtually guaranteed an empty result set.

I'd prefer not to "destroy" the instance since that would also require
unbinding multiple event handlers, and then recreating the instance and
rebinding them when the field changes again.

Thanks

Looks like all sample queries from the MQL main online docs that involves the 
music track property fail. Is this a known issue? 

Example: 

http://www.freebase.com/queryeditor?q={%22type%22:%22/music/artist%22,%22name%22
:%22The%20Police%22,%22album%22:{%22name%22:%22Synchronicity%22,%22track%22:[]}}

Query (from the sample code in the documentation):
{
  "type" : "/music/artist",
  "name" : "The Police",
  "album" : {
    "name" : "Synchronicity",
    "track" : []
  }
}
​
Response:

code: "/api/status/error"
messages: [
0: {
code: "/api/status/error/mql/type"
info: {
expected_type: "/music/album"
property: "track"
message: "Type /music/album does not have property track"
path: "album"
query: {
album: {
error_inside: "."
name: "Synchronicity"
track: []
name: "The Police"
type: "/music/artist"xp
status: "200 OK"
transaction_id: "cache;cache03.p01.sjc1:8101;2011-02-12T16:21:58Z;0022"

Not a bug but a enhancement request.
From the point of view in the health care industry or any other vertical the 
suggest component 
would be more useful if filters where allowed to return results ordered by 
relevance.
For example we ant no type constrains but would like to get health care related 
topics first as 
suggestion instead of more generic terms.

For example, when I type 'card' in as a topic suggestion, I'd think cardiology 
would come up. 
Instead I get things like magic card, secure digital card, yellowcard, and 
orson scott card on the 
first page. 'Cardi' brings up 'cardigan welsh corgi'. And 'Cardio' brings up 
running & cycling.

I would like to hint the suggest box that certains types are more relevant to 
me and have those 
be on top of the list.

In any case still provide other topics as suggestions after the relevant ones 
first.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. $('form').suggest()

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I'd like to see a console warning, "Cannot use Freebase Suggest on a 'form' 
element. See http://www.freebase.com/docs/suggest for help"

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Add suggest to a document served as application/xhtml+xml

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Loading fails with the error INVALID_STATE_ERR: DOM Exception 11

Which web-browsers exhibit the problem?

Chrome

Please provide any additional information below.

The use of unterminated empty tags (<div> instead of <div/>) is the problem.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Paste a Freebase uri with a suffix into autosuggest
2. Nothing is found

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I'd expect the uri http://www.freebase.com/view/en/africa/-/location
to work the same in freebase-suggest as pasting in
