I want to implement auto complete search for bot..for example bot should get responses as auto complete options from Mongo Database. Can any one suggest how to do this without Azure Search?

I have tried implementing like this but in my case i want to get the tags from Database.

May i know what are the available options to do this?

When you send a message from the bot, you can add the autocomplete options to the activity's channel data. Then in Web Chat, you can use a custom store middleware to retrieve the options and update the JQuery Auto complete widget.

Bot Framework SDK v4 (C#)

var reply = turnContext.Activity.CreateReply();
reply.Text = "Hello, World!";
reply.ChannelData = JObject.FromObject( new {
    autocompleteOptions = new List<string>() { "Option 1", "Option 2", "Option 3" }
});
await turnContext.SendActivityAsync(reply);

Web Chat v4

const store = createStore(
  {},
  ({ dispatch }) => next => action => {
    if (action.type === 'DIRECT_LINE/INCOMING_ACTIVITY') {
      const { payload: { activity: { channelData: { autcompleteOptions } = {}}}} = action;
      if (autcompleteOptions) {
        // Update JQuery Autcomplete Widget with `autocompleteOptions`
      }
    }
    return next(action);
  }
);

For more details take a look at the Incoming Event Web Chat Sample and this Stack Overflow answer.

Hope this helps!
