The Autocomplete dashboard tracks the performance of the autocomplete dropdown — the suggestions that appear as a shopper types in the search box.

​
How to Use Autocomplete

Navigate to the Analytics section and select Autocomplete from the left navigation. Set the site, device, date range, and comparison period from the controls in the upper right. The dashboard reports on the autocomplete experience because most shoppers click a suggestion rather than complete their typed query — so understanding autocomplete behavior is critical to understanding search behavior overall.

​
Breakdown by Suggestion Type

Autocomplete returns suggestions from several types — Products, Categories, Recent Searches, Popular Searches, Brands, and others. The Breakdown by Type widget shows what share of selections each type captures. Use it to understand whether shoppers are gravitating toward product suggestions or category navigation, and to spot when a suggestion type that should be performing well is being ignored.

​
Performance Over Time

A trend chart for autocomplete impressions and selections across the selected date range. Helpful for catching configuration regressions — a sudden drop in selections after a synonym change, for example, often indicates that the change broke autocomplete matching.

​
Top Selected Suggestions

Lists the autocomplete suggestions most often clicked. Tells you which suggestions are working well and surfaces opportunities to promote underperforming-but-valuable items by featuring them more prominently or adding synonyms.
