Hi!

Is there a setting for how many results to display in the dropdown list when you use suggested search?

Hi Per,

The "Suggested queries" functionality displays 5 results by default.

If you need less results, then take a look at the following thread: Relevance in ecom suggested search. The solution that I posted in there can be reused in your situation.

If you need more results, then it's not possible right now but I've added a feature item into our product backlog: #8990, "Make it possible to change the amount of suggested queries".

Hi Per,

This functionality has now been implemented and will be available with the next major release.

You can change the maximum number of query suggestions via paragraph settings ("Max. query suggestions" under the "Advanced search" section). The value must be between 1 and 20 (otherwise the system falls back to default value of 5).

Furthermore, you can change this value from within your JavaScript:

Dynamicweb.Frontend.InstantSearch.setEnableSuggestions('txFreeTextQuery', true, {
    boxID: 'divSuggestions',
    request: { 'MaxSuggestions': '10' }
});
