Autocomplete is a UX pattern that’s commonly implemented in a search box. As someone enters a search query, autocomplete software starts suggesting completed versions of the phrase to help the user refine their search results.
These solutions show you how to take full advantage of Algolia’s tools and features. With features like the Autocomplete library, Query Suggestions, Rules, Personalization, Voice, and multi-index searching, you can build a best-in-class autocomplete experience for your site’s users. These various implementation approaches show how you can use autocomplete to enrich the user experience and make it more engaging.
