Predictive search queries are empty

Technical Q&A
1

Hi,

We implemented the predictive search on our themes. It’s nearly identical to the guide https://shopify.dev/docs/themes/navigation-search/search/predictive-search . We have two stores, one is in english, one is in danish. The search suggestions show only on the english site (in liquid predictive_search.resources.queries is empty). The same goes for the api call fetch(/search/suggest?q=${searchTerm}&section_id=predictive-search – queries return null). In the Search & Discovery app the queries are enabled. We also tried forcing it through the api parameters.

Does anyone have any idea what could cause this? Frontend code is identical on both sites, it seems that the settings are very much identical, but we cannot really figure what is causing the issue.

Please do not suggest any other app, we would like to fix this issue.

As the official documentation states:

  • Query suggestions are available in English only, and require the store’s primary language (shop primary locale) and the customer’s online store session (buyer locale) to be in English.
