   {% endhint %}

In the **Search behavior** section, you can edit 2 elements: **product suggestions and recommendations**.

## Search suggestions

Displaying search suggestions on the search results can give more ideas and encourage them to view more products. Predictive search shows suggested results as you type. It helps your customers refine their search without being redirected to a search results page, and quickly explore your store by seeing top results for suggested search terms, products, collections, and more.

* **Enable search types**: Let customers search from available **product types** of the store.

* You can also decide what to include in the search suggestions:
  * Product vendor
  * Product type
  * Product price

You can customize the behavior of predictive search with the [Search & Discovery app](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/search-and-discovery) from Shopify.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Predictive search isn't available in all languages. See the complete [list of supported languages](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/ajax/reference/predictive-search#supported-languages).
{% endhint %}

## Recommendations

Product recommendation boosts sales and increases revenue for your store. It encourages shoppers to buy more.

You can set some **predefined popular search queries** to suggest the search result, and choose how out-of-stock products are shown.

* **Most search keywords:** Choose to display your most search keywords to your visitors.
* **Product recommendations:** Display the up to 8 products you want to make a recommendation to your customers.
