<p>This is likely because my Update API endpoint and my Auto-Suggest API live on different SearchStax servers:</p>
<p><img src="https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/2026-03-27/Screenshot%202026-03-27%20at%2010.38.54%E2%80%AFAM.png" alt="SearchStax Update and Auto-Suggest APIs exist on different servers."></p>
<p>When configuring a server in Drupal Search API, we are only given the option to configure one endpoint (the Update endpoint). The Auto-Suggest endpoint is then apparently derived from the Update endpoint by piecing them together assuming that they live on the same server. As you can see this is not a safe assumption to make.</p>
<p>I have two different sites I'm moving to SearchStax from Acquia. On the first site, the Update and Auto-Suggest endpoints are on the same server and Auto-Suggest works. On the second site, the Update and Auto-Suggest endpoints are not on the same server and Auto-Suggest doesn't work and throws the error.</p>
