# Suggest

The Suggest module assists shoppers by displaying search suggestions while they are entering a search term. This means the user doesn't have to enter the full search term, but can choose from the suggestions instead. In addition, similar search terms are also offered, so users can see what similar searches other users have performed and choose a better, more precise term.

Suggest entries are primarily drawn from the search database's product data, but also from recent top search terms.

Apart from the search suggestion, additional information can be displayed for the user. Examples include the source or description of the suggestion (category, search term), the expected number of search results, and a preview image.

The following example picture shows the suggestions which are shown to a customer when “so” was typed into the search-box:
