Predictive Search

What is Predictive search?

It is a feature used to enhance the user experience by prompting suggestive words/terms in real-time based on what the user is typing. It is also known as auto-suggest.

How does it work?

You must type a minimum 3 characters for suggestions to start appearing.

So, as soon as you have typed more than 3 characters, system starts to display a dropdown showing all the suggested keywords based on what has been typed so far.

The suggestion displayed in the dropdown will keep changing as the user continues to type further. So, the search is iterative and real-time.

If there are multiple suggestions for the entered keyword, you can select the required option from the list.

To make the selection, you can either use the keyboard (Up/Down Arrow keys and Enter Key) or use to mouse to select the desired suggestion and double click on it.
