Ajax search suggestions don't work

[nazeeshkha2912]

I want to search by SKU but suggestions don't appear.

For example, most SKU start by "600", the ajax request made by Magento 2.x is:

search/ajax/suggest/?q=600&_=1571930826272

The result is

{}

SKU field is searchable and active, why does it return 0 results?

Those search suggestions by default are based on what previous users have searched. 

In admin if you go Marketing > Search Terms, you have a list of all of them. If you go into a specific one, you have a control "Display in Suggested Terms" - Yes or No, to block the ones you don't like being displayed there.

So just try searching for some of your 600... SKUs a few times and see if they start popping up in the suggestions.

Hii,

You can clear your Magento cache to refresh search results and potentially resolve the issue. Sometimes, third-party extensions can interfere with search functionality. Disable extensions one by one to identify any conflicts.
