I want to enable suggestions in global search box and search page search box.
Steps I followed :

  1. Go to the More features page of the new SharePoint admin center, and sign in with an account that has admin permissions for your organization.
  2. Under Search, select Open.
  3. On the search administration page, select Query Suggestion Settings --> Show Search Suggestion is enabled.
  4. From search box web part enabled the "Show suggestions" property. But search box is not showing result until I enabled the second option "Show people name suggestions". But in network panel its showing result only for "PeopleNames". Check second image.

    SharePoint automatically creates a query suggestion when you have clicked a search result for a query at least six times. For example, if you have entered the query word "test" and then clicked a search result six times, "test" automatically becomes a query suggestion.

    Automatically query suggestions are generated daily for each result source and each site collection, so the query suggestions can be different for different result sources and site collections.

    If you want to display query suggestions immediately, you could import suggest phrase from text file.
