What it is
Suggestions can reduce typing and help people discover useful searches. Each suggestion should make clear whether selection runs a query or goes directly to a result.
When to use it
Show relevant suggestions below the field and allow keyboard selection and dismissal.
Know the difference
The suggestions help form or choose a query; the results list shows matches for an executed query.
Across platforms
Web
Use a native button for an action and an anchor for navigation. Preserve keyboard activation and a visible focus indicator.
iOS · iPadOS · Android
Provide a comfortable touch target, use familiar system symbols when appropriate, and show a clear pressed or selected state.
macOS · Windows · Linux
Keep pointer, keyboard, and focus behavior consistent. Common commands can additionally expose a menu item or keyboard shortcut.
