Autocomplete
Popular query suggestions
Query terms, ranked by popularity. Popularity of suggestions are determined by the frequency of searches for that term. The term's popularity is built up by previous searches for that term that led to a good textual match.
Scoped autocomplete
The top autocomplete suggestion can be presented with facets (or scopes in other words). To enable users to apply a facet, directly from the search bar. Typically the facets used are brand or category. (e.g. "Prada in Accessories" or "Prada in Shoes")
Keyword redirects
If a user enters a pre-defined keyword (e.g. opening hours), they are redirected to a specified URL immediately after pressing enter. The engine returns a link to use for the redirect.
Products in autocomplete
Products are returned (along side queries) when a user starts to type in the search box. If a user starts to type "airp" in the search bar, the engine will respond with the "Airpods" product.
Other data in Autocomplete
Other things than queries and products can be returned. For example results within categories, brands or other content. This can be used to create a rich Autocomplete experience.
