A Node.js app that uses an attached Redis database to provide an autocomplete API for data uploaded as text files. Multiple separate autocomplete indexes are supported.
The autocomplete API is CORS-enabled, so that it can be accessed from any web page and conforms to the jQuery autocomplete standard.

If you have uploaded your content into the Simple Autocomplete Service but now want only the GET /api/:name endpoint to continue working, then you can enable "Lockdown mode".
Simply set an environment variable called LOCKDOWN to true before running the Simple Autocomplete Service:
export LOCKDOWN=true
node app.jsor set a custom environment variable in Bluemix.
This prevents your data being modified until lockdown mode is switched off again, by removing the environment variable.
