> Suggestions while typing, and the department choice in the header search box.

Suggestions while typing

## How it works

* Show suggestions while typing lists products, suggested searches, collections, guides and pages under the search box as shoppers type; see [Search suggestions](https://docs.kwebby.com/kelvin/sections/search-suggestions.md). Off, the box opens the search page when the shopper presses Enter.
* Department choices lists product types separated by commas, and is empty on install. Once you fill it, on screens 750 px and wider they show in a Department menu at the start of the header search box, after All, and the search page then shows only products of the chosen type.
* The suggestions while typing do not narrow by department; only the full search page does.
* Leave Department choices empty to hide the menu.

## Edit it

* Type each department exactly as the Product type field reads on your products, separated by commas, and keep the list short.
* The department uses Shopify's product type filter, so add a Product type filter in the Search & Discovery app. See [Filters with Search & Discovery](https://docs.kwebby.com/kelvin/guides/search-and-discovery-filters.md).

## Settings

| Setting | What it does |
| - | - |
| **Show suggestions while typing** | On or off. Default: on. |
| **Department choices** | Text. Product types offered beside the search box, separated by commas, spelled exactly as in each product's Product type (for example Graphics card, Processor). Leave empty to hide the choice. |
