I'm using Flask building a site, and am using Whoosh as the search engine. Now I need an easy autocompleting engine to tag autocomplete, which I have tag Python with description python programming language stored. The description is used for assisting searching.

I can get the model by whosh_search('python'), but nothing got with whosh_search('py').

How could I make whoosh_search('py') and whoosh_search('language') works just like an autocompleting engine?

I'd considered this, but didn't get a way to work with Flask-SQLAlchemy. Now i'm using ``ilike`` as a workaround. – Kane Blueriver Oct 04 '15 at 07:25
