I put a sample definition of the suggest under
http://svn.pmapper.net/trac/browser/pmapper/trunk/config/default
uncomment the last part in search.xml, you might need to adapt the path
under <dataroot>, it can be an absolute path or relative to the XML
file. In the <searchitem> you can use this as the parent path (using the
'$') or specify the path also as absolute (tag <dbasefile>).
Note that the search returns no result for features not displayed on the
map (because eg. missing class definition), but they appear in the
suggest. I know this could likely be overcome using a generic Mapscript
definition. I noticed that for the cities layer, so I added the missing
class.
