Auto-Suggest API

The SearchStax Site Search solution’s Auto-Suggest URL is available on the Search API tab. This endpoint provides suggestions to search users.

The Autosuggest Endpoint for your App is available within your Site Search > App Settings > Data Management > All APIs > Search & Indexing tab as shown below:

As your users enter characters, you can call this endpoint to get suggestions for search queries.

Example: As a user starts typing si, you can call:

https://ss123456-cvrfzabx-us-east-1-aws.searchstax.com/solr/ss123456-APPNAME-suggester-1/emsuggest?q=si&language=en

to get all suggestions for “si” as shown below:
