What are predictive search and autocomplete? | Algolia | Algolia

Autocomplete, also known as predictive search, is a crucial feature in modern search engines that helps users find relevant results faster by suggesting queries as they type. This improves user experience and reduces bounce rates due to confusion or inability to find desired content. Any site can benefit from autocomplete, including e-commerce platforms and media companies. However, fine-tuning the relevance of search suggestions for specific users can be challenging, so partnering with a search service provider like Algolia may be beneficial.
