Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?

Describe the feature you'd like
It would be nice to have a Endpoint, that returns a JSON-List of available search results (similar to this endpoint that Ecosia has: https://ac.ecosia.org/autocomplete?type=list&q=bookstack).
Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users
Would make it very easy to search Bookstack contents from 3rd party services like Homepage.dev or from the Brower's searchbar
Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?
Currently it is only possible by creating an external API that queries the db for search results.
Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?
How long have you been using BookStack?
3 months to 1 year

Hi @lilbiba400,
From this issue I'm not totally clear if you desire actual searching or just suggestions.
The BookStack REST API already has a search endpoint for searching content/entities.
Otherwise, we won't build/storage/track possible search suggestions.
It should be possible to add search to your browser for BookStack, and we added opensearch support in v24.10 to help make this easier to add. It won't have system-based suggestions though.
