Search guidance in OpenSearch includes drop-down suggestions, blacklists and whitelists, and top searches and hints to help users find content faster.

Drop-down suggestions recommend candidate queries as you type, helping you find the expected results without entering the full search query. For more information, see Drop-down suggestions.

Blacklists and whitelists let you control candidate queries for drop-down suggestions, top searches, and hints. Queries containing blacklisted keywords are excluded, while whitelisted queries that meet the recommendation conditions are prioritized. For more information, see Blacklists and whitelists.

Top searches and hints appear in or near the search box, surfacing popular and recommended queries to drive user engagement. For more information, see Top searches and hints.
