Wildcard in remote not working

[thany]

If I use this:

new Bloodhound({
    limit: 6,
    datumTokenizer: Bloodhound.tokenizers.obj.whitespace("value"),
    queryTokenizer: Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace,
    remote: "/suggest?search_term=%QUERY"
})

Then on performing a search, typeahead will literally do a GET /suggest?search_term=%QUERY. In other words, the placeholder %QUERY is not replaced with whatever the user typed in.

This I consider a regression, because it worked fine in version 0.10.x, and there is no migration document for 0.10->0.11.

There is no documentation on this either. It nowhere says what the default placeholder is, i.e. what the remote option ouhta look like. The source suggests that if neither the replace nor the wildcard option is provided in remote when it is an object, the url will be used as-is. But I couldn't find how it behaves when remote is a string instead of an object.

I would expect some default wildcard to be used.
So what has the default wildcard become in version 0.11?

You have to define the 'wildcard' option with remote.
See: https://github.com/twitter/typeahead.js/blob/master/doc/bloodhound.md#remote

That's what I concluded, so you're just stating the problem again.
But no worries mate, this project is dead anyway. It's been taken up by corejavascript.
