Question

Is it possible to dynamically add an mql_filter to constrain results from a Freebase Suggest control?

$(function() {
    $("#button").onclick(function() {
        // add an mql_filter to #film, a Freebase Suggest control
    });

    $("#film").suggest({type:'/film/film'});
});

Answer 1

You can reinvoke suggest with a different mql_filter:

$(function() {
    $("#button").onclick(function() {
        // add an mql_filter to #film, a Freebase Suggest control
        $("film").suggest({type:'/film/film', 
                           mql_filter: ...});

    });

    $("#film").suggest({type:'/film/film'});
});
