To use Auto Suggest, complete the following:

1.  Enable **Auto Suggest** in the Site Search user interface.  
    This triggers the backend server to start building the dictionary using the search history.
2.  Build the search history dictionary.  
    Acquia recommends that you use a sliding window of the last 90 days to build the dictionary. You can seed the dictionary by adding a few terms.
3.  Configure the settings in Drupal as specified in [Drupal Auto-Suggest](https://www.searchstax.com/docs/searchstudio/searchstax-studio-drupal-auto-suggest/ "https://www.searchstax.com/docs/searchstudio/searchstax-studio-drupal-auto-suggest/").
