Research direction
This issue requests integration with the tether library for rendering suggestion containers. To implement, one could explore the renderSuggestionsContainer prop of react autosuggest to wrap the container with a tether component. The issue discussion may contain user attempts. A possible approach is to create a higher order component that uses tether to position the suggestions relative to an anchor element. Look at the current renderSuggestionsContainer implementation in the codebase and consider adding an example or optional tether props. No linked PRs exist, so this is open for a first time contributor to propose a solution.
