Search Term Completion

Use B2C Commerce to provide search suggestion capabilities in your storefront application. While customers are entering text into the storefront search box, suggestions appear, helping them to locate items faster.

B2C Commerce automatically uses all category show names and product brand names as search suggestions, to which you can add phrases that are unique to your business. When you customize search suggestions, consider phrases or products that are commonly found in your business, and phrases that you want to exclude from search suggestions. You can also import explicit suggestions.

All search phrases are then included in a special suggest index, and are used as search term suggestions in the storefront. At any time, view your site's suggestion list along with calculated hit counts.

If you add or edit phrases to the search index, update the search suggestion index for them to be included.

Enable search suggestions by clicking App Launcher , and then selecting site | Merchant Tools | Search | Search Preferences. This preference, like all other search preferences, is instance type-specific.
