# 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:

The Suggest module is a menu item under the Basic Settings section. In the default menu structure, it can be reached from More settings…

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.fact-finder.com/docs/basic-settings/suggest.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
