Remarks

Important

To implement search in an app for Windows 10 or later, use AutoSuggestBox. See Auto-suggest box for more info.

You should not use Windows.ApplicationModel.Search APIs (SearchPane, SearchContract) or SearchBox APIs in apps for Windows 10 or later.

If local suggestions are disabled, this property has no effect. Set LocalContentSuggestionSettings.Enabled property to true to display local suggestions in the search pane.

Use an AQS filter to help keep local suggestions relevant. For example, if your app is a video player, you may want to limit suggestions to videos or a specific file type.
