Displaying search suggestions on the search results can give more ideas and encourage them to view more products.&#x20;

Predictive search shows suggested results as you type.&#x20;

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.

* **Turn on** this feature to display suggestions while typing.
* **Turn off** this feature if you want to disable the suggestions.

* A smaller number keeps the suggestions more focused and less cluttered.

### Most searched keywords
