Thanks the post Chad. However, Querry Suggestions are severly limited by not being able to use them on the Advanced Search Web Part. Do you know of a way of doing so?

I'm having the same trouble as a couplke of other posters above. No matter what we do, since the last SP update, we are not getting any new entries in the suggestions list. How could I verify that this is working (or not?)

(I can manually add entries fine, it just seems that the automatic addition of items is not working. Could it be an IE thing?)

Hi, thanks for this post.

I used your code and added the word "pop" to my suggestions. Everything works fine and the word "pop" is suggested when I type "po" into the search text box.

Then I also added the word group "pop up" to the suggestions. Now, when I type "po" into the search text box only "pop up" is suggested, but "pop" is missing.

"art" and "article" works fine.

It seems like SharePoint skips a short suggestion, if there is a longer one that starts with the same letters followed by an empty space.

Of course I configured that more than one suggestions shall be displayed (8 on default).

Could this be an unknown SharePoint bug?

Greetings

Martin

If you have more than one FAST Query Service installed, you can add your query suggestion to a specific one like this:

$ssa = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -Identity "FAST Query SSA - Intranet"

The -Identity value is just the title string of the service.

"Suggestions are automatically built based on what search results are actually clicked on. It takes 6 clicks within a year for SharePoint to add a suggestion;"

The automatically query suggestions does not work, I try to run the same query a few times, and restart the "Prepare query suggestions" job. Should I enable that feature? or set the configuration?

Thanks for the help.
