Search suggestions are a powerful feature that enhances the user experience on your e-commerce site. They provide users with real-time recommendations as they type their queries, helping them find what they’re looking for more efficiently.
What are search suggestions?
Search suggestions are auto-completed phrases or keywords that appear as users type their queries into the search box. These suggestions are typically based on popular or common search terms and can guide users towards relevant products or content on your website.
Benefits of adding search suggestions

When users start typing "sma..." into the search box, "smartphone" would appear as a suggestion, guiding them directly to relevant products.
