The search functionality of your eCommerce website plays a crucial role in the purchase decision of a customer. If customers do not easily find what they are looking for, they will likely take an exit and never return, making you lose out on potential customers.
This is why the search functionality holds very high importance to gain customer loyalty and provide customers with a hassle-free online shopping experience.
For PrestaShop website owners, we present the PrestaShop Search Auto-suggest addon that can improve the search functionality of the website and help people find the desired products easily.
Auto-suggest or autocomplete is a feature that predicts what the user is looking for, even before the user has finished typing his/her search query.
Features to look out in PrestaShop Search Auto-suggest addon:
1. Choose minimum letters to start performing a search
Set the minimum number of letters that need to be entered in the search box for the search function to work. For example, if a customer is looking for a pair of shoes, the search results would be displayed only after the customer has typed “sho” and not before it.

Search for a particular category by typing the category name in the search box.
3. Search with the product name
