Show recent search requests
Incorporating recent search requests addresses a common frustration — remembering that you searched for something but not recalling the exact terms. When users begin to type in the search bar, the dropdown can display previous search terms as recommendations, tailored to match the current query.
This approach significantly reduces the mental effort required from users. Instead of having to recall past searches or formulate entirely new queries, users can simply recognize and select from the list of recent searches provided. This is especially helpful in scenarios where users frequently return to search for similar items or information.
