Search Recommendations to Improve Site Search Results

SearchStax Studio has three Recommendation features — Auto-Suggest, Related Searches, and Popular Searches — to improve the search experience by making it easier for users to quickly find the right search term or by augmenting search results with other search terms.

Auto-Suggest enables real-time suggestions while the search user types in keywords. SearchStax Studio builds a Solr index based on previous search history by users. You have the ability to refine the experience by adding/removing searches and specifying the number of suggestions to show the user and the number of keystrokes required before suggestions begin to appear. 

Related Searches provide contextually-relevant searches in addition to the standard search results based on search terms provided by other users or defined through the SearchStax Studio application. You have the ability to define a search phrase as being related to one or more potential search phrases. Additional phrases are offered to the search user at the bottom of the search results.
