# Suggestions

## Overview

When using Ucommerce, you can create a custom index definition that specifies which fixed or user-defined properties on your products should trigger suggestions. This will help to make suggestions that will show up as the customer is typing in a search field.

## Enabling suggestions

When you want to enable suggestions for a field, your index definition needs to define the field to be part of the index as well as tell the system that this field should be suggestable.

```csharp
this.Field(p => p["DisplayName"], typeof(string))
    .Suggestable();
```

{% hint style="info" %}
To use suggestions, you must call `ToSuggestions()` in the search API. See [Suggestions](/readme/search-and-indexing/searching.md#suggestions) for details.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://dev.ucommerce.net/readme/search-and-indexing/indexing/suggestions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
