Apologies. I'm the OP and also the OS (original sinner). My "mistake"
was to go for a "stream of consciousness" kind of question, rather than
a well researched and thought out one.
You are correct, Avi. I have a simple web UI, I came across the Whoosh
video and got infatuated with the idea that Whoosh could be used for
create a autofill function, as my backend is already Python/Flask. As
many have observed and as I have also quickly realized, Whoosh was
overkill for my use case. In the meantime people started asking
questions, I responded and, before you know it, we are all discussing
the intricacies of JavaScript web development in a Python forum. Should
I have stopped them? How?
One thing is for sure: I am really grateful that so many used so much of
their time to help.
A big thank you to each of you, friends.
Dino
