Allow each result to link to that entity

What suggester(s) have you enabled for your autocomplete? “Display live results” should already pretty much do what you describe in the IS, while “Retrieve from server“ will just suggest individual words or phrases (depending on the backend) to search for, not actual nodes/pages/result items.

It has been over a year since this was opened and unfortunately I don't remember which project I ran into this problem on, as it isn't one I'm currently working on. As a result I can't go back to confirm what the configuration is.

So maybe this is a case of misunderstanding the module's setup? You do have to admit that the wording "Display live results" vs "Retrieve from server" doesn't make it clear to someone who hasn't read the source code what the behavior will be. Maybe a usability review would be worthwhile?

I'm closing this because of the above.
