Enable auto-suggest for searching

Auto-suggestions, or autocomplete, enhance site search by providing real-time suggestions in a dropdown menu as users type their query. This feature assists users in formulating effective search queries, leading to faster and more accurate results. If no relevant suggestions are available, none are shown.

When implemented well, auto-suggestions reduce the effort users must put into typing, lower the chance of typos, and decrease the cognitive load by allowing users to recognize and select the correct terms quickly.[1]

Pro Tip: To make the auto-suggest feature even more helpful, implement autocorrection, word prediction, and related words recognition.
