Auto-Suggest Search
It's relieving when an e‑commerce store's search box magically predicts search query - and even provides an extra list of related search items.
This helps potential buyers navigate seamlessly through an overwhelming number of products in your store, compare alternatives, and make a well-informed purchase decision.
Also called autocomplete or predictive search, the auto-suggest feature reduces typing by about 25 percent.
This tool is arguably one of the most valuable single investments of any e‑commerce business.

What is auto-suggest?
Auto-suggest is search assistance that predicts website visitor search queries from the first character entered in the search bar.
The search application further produces a drop-down menu of search suggestions for users to find other information relevant to their search.
For instance, a visitor comes to your e-store for pet training mats. After typing P-e-t t-r-a-i in the search field, he finds the complete search term and a list of alternative terms.
This improves their overall search experience and helps them discover other products they might be interested in purchase.
How auto-suggest works
To generate search auto-suggestions, the search engine provides helpful query suggestions related to the characters input in the box, which auto-updates as you type in more characters.
Searcher’s screen size determines the number of auto-suggested keywords they get—less on smartphones and more on larger computer screens.
The auto-suggest tool works on visitors’ psyche, reassuring them of their search accuracy while offering more information and further assistance through relevant suggestions.
Often, buyers abandon the product they had in mind (which they inputted in the search form) for one of the suggested options.

Why auto-suggest matters for e‑commerce
Makes search faster
Assuming a pet parent comes looking to purchase dog grooming accessories from your e‑commerce site. They hit D-o-g g-r-o-o-m-i-n-g characters into the input field, and there's a long list of product suggestions.
You'd have made a happy buyer who had a fast and seamless user experience searching for a solution to their queries.
With a search that suggests search results while the user types, you save plenty of search time. The less time customers spend on your site, the happier they are, and the higher your chances of winning their loyalty.
Strike out typos
An autocomplete list eliminates the need for accuracy and the fear of spelling mistakes.
A non-native English writer searching for a dog collar may not have the spelling all figured out, particularly the word 'collar.'
It'll relieve him to find the correct spelling and even more autocomplete suggestions after typing the first few characters of the search query.
This autocomplete feature may even pass for a spell checker.
More conversion
This particular feature can completely change your e‑commerce store's metrics. The accurate real-time prediction of users and suggested alternative keywords reassure people that they can quickly get what they came for and, in turn, increase conversions.
This easy shopping journey gives visitors a sense of satisfaction and increases their chances of returning.
Higher revenue
An autocomplete search plugin on your e‑commerce store cuts down bounce rates significantly.
Common causes of bounce rates include disruption, user confusion, or inability to find needed products on the search result. The autocomplete feature handles this concern, increases user engagement, and, in turn, higher revenue.
Better engagement
Too often, potential buyers are unaware of your store's complete package list.
Thankfully, an autosuggest bar allows your customer to see many popular products related to their searches, leaving them stuck on your site for longer.
