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 App Settings page 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-CORPSITE-suggester-1/emsuggest?q=si&language=en

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