Recent Searches stores a history of search queries in the browser’s cache. When it is enabled, typeahead works with partially formed words.

In such cases, a query like "[clou...]" will produce suggestions if you or a team member has previously searched for terms such as "[how to i a report within cloud?]" or "[discovering your cloud]."

  • The recent searches marked with a clock icon represent the recent searches performed by the user within the current browser session and search client.

  • The recent searches displayed with a magnifying glass icon indicate recent searches from other sessions of the same search client.

Key distinctions between the typehead in Autocomplete Results and Recent Searches:

  • Autocomplete: Provides article title suggestions.

  • Recent Searches: Provides search query suggestions.
