Examples
The Search contract sample demonstrates how to respond to a suggestionsrequested event.
Note
You can access information about the event from the searchPaneSuggestionsRequestedEventArgs object that is passed to your suggestionsrequested handler.
private void OnSearchPaneSuggestionsRequested(SearchPane sender, SearchPaneSuggestionsRequestedEventArgs e)
{
var queryText = e.QueryText;
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(queryText))
{
MainPage.Current.NotifyUser("Use the search pane to submit a query", NotifyType.StatusMessage);
}
else
{
var request = e.Request;
var linguisticDetails = e.LinguisticDetails;
foreach (string alternative in linguisticDetails.QueryTextAlternatives)
{
foreach (string suggestion in suggestionList)
{
if (suggestion.StartsWith(alternative, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase))
{
// Add suggestion to Search Pane
request.SearchSuggestionCollection.AppendQuerySuggestion(suggestion);
// Break since the Search Pane can show at most 5 suggestions
if (request.SearchSuggestionCollection.Size >= MainPage.SearchPaneMaxSuggestions)
{
break;
}
}
}
// Break since the Search Pane can show at most 5 suggestions
if (request.SearchSuggestionCollection.Size >= MainPage.SearchPaneMaxSuggestions)

}
}
if (request.SearchSuggestionCollection.Size > 0)
{
MainPage.Current.NotifyUser("Suggestions provided for query: " + queryText, NotifyType.StatusMessage);
}
else
{
MainPage.Current.NotifyUser("No suggestions provided for query: " + queryText, NotifyType.StatusMessage);
}
}
}
// Register the onsuggestionsrequested event in your apps global scope, for example default.js, so that it is registered as soon as your app is launched.
Windows.ApplicationModel.Search.SearchPane.getForCurrentView().onsuggestionsrequested = function (eventObject) {
var queryText = eventObject.queryText, suggestionRequest = eventObject.request, linguisticDetails = eventObject.linguisticDetails;
var queryAlternatives = linguisticDetails.queryTextAlternatives;
var maxNumberOfSuggestions = 5;
for (var i = 0, len = queryAlternatives.length, done = false; i < len && !done; i++) {
// toLowerCase not necessary for East Asian languages. Preserves compatibility when non East Asian suggestions are mixed in with East Asian suggestions.
var alternative = queryAlternatives[i].toLowerCase();
for (var j = 0, suggestionLength = suggestionList.length; j < suggestionLength; j++) {
if (suggestionList[j].substr(0, alternative.length).toLowerCase() === alternative) {
suggestionRequest.searchSuggestionCollection.appendQuerySuggestion(suggestionList[j]);
if (suggestionRequest.searchSuggestionCollection.size === maxNumberOfSuggestions) {
done = true;
break;
}
}
}
}
// Construct list of alternatives so we can output them.
var alternatives = "";
for (var k = 0, alternativeCount = queryAlternatives.length; k < alternativeCount; k++) {
alternatives += queryAlternatives[k];
}

} else {

}
};
searchPane.SuggestionsRequested += new TypedEventHandler<SearchPane, SearchPaneSuggestionsRequestedEventArgs>(OnSearchPaneSuggestionsRequested);
Remarks
This object is passed to an app's suggestionsrequested event handler.
Use your app to provide suggestions
There are a few different ways you can get suggestions for your app to provide:
- From an app-defined, static, local list
- From a URL that supports suggestions in OpenSearch format
- From a URL that supports suggestions in XML format After you obtain suggestions, you must append them to the collection of suggestions to display for the user's query. Access this collection with the searchPaneSuggestionsRequest.searchSuggestionCollection property.
Note
If you want to provide result suggestions, you must also listen for and handle the resultsuggestionchosen event.
