EDIT

Implemented auto suggest based on TaxonListController.doSearch() with r28412

This is not working for. Even after clearing the drupal cache the autosuggest is not working.

Using the taxon/search service is not ideal. One request/response cycle to this service takes over one second and causes >300kB to be transferred. Using a special 'lucene' suggest service https://lucene.apache.org/core/4_0_0/suggest/index.html is for sure the better solution, maybe hibernate search provides also a good solution.

Added taxon auto_suggest to portal setting with r28442

Added a new ticket for weighted search results -> #5978

When trying to run on http://test.e-taxonomy.eu/dataportal/preview/flora-cuba/ and searching for "Barler" I got an popup saying:

An AJAX HTTP error occurred.
