Search Bar Suggestions

7.4 U36+ and GA36+

Liferay’s Search Bar Suggestions provides search as you type functionality. As you type search keywords into the Search Bar widget, the query is processed by the search engine, and results are returned in a drop-down list. You can click one of the results from the list or execute the search as usual by clicking the magnifying glass icon or the Enter key to view the results in the Search Results widget.

Important

Only the default display template shows search bar suggestions out-of-the-box. Create a widget template for the search bar if you need a customized display.
