Query Suggestions

[Richard Lutjen]

Hello,

Is there an google api that would allow me to feed suggestions instead of having to perform a search for each term that I want included in our query suggest feature?  Otherwise, what are some ways you have solved this?  Thanks,

Rich

No you have to feed it by doing searches

[Andrew Weaver]

Along with Mathias already said the only way to populate it is bu executing searches.

We have taken a couple of approaches to get them fed in and it always comes down to writing a simple script that runs HTTP requests against the GSA with the terms you want.

For one customer, as an example, they are using the GSA on their eStore and wanted to make sure all the product names and product codes were pre-populated in the query suggestions.  They were able to query the database backing the site, export that as CSV, then our script parsed through that file and ran a few searches for each term so they were populated.

Hope that helps,

Hi,

As far as I know yoou could also use the "user added results". They can also show up as suggestions.

That's correct, but the downside is that you've now enabled user-added
results. They're not a good fit for many organizations, even with
authentication enabled.

I think it isn't or wasn't frontend tied,enabling it on another "hidden" with moderation just in case would do.
