[Google Search API] Contextual Autocomplete API

Open aliayar opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

Currently, our Autocomplete API doesn't return any suggested search terms for certain search keywords such as iphone android照片互傳2023 or iphone android照片互傳app.

However, after a contextually similar keyword has been searched, before-mentioned search keywords return auto suggested terms.

Example when the keywords are filled in search box on the home page:

or Google:

On the search results page where there are results for a similar keyword:

contextual

I suspected that this might be related to gl and hl parameters and search term should return results when they are set correctly but that's not the case.

Those two keywords return auto complete results only on a search results page where a similar keyword was searched before.

It's actually another form of "Related Searches". It's not fetched through the Autocomplete API but the Google search results.

It seems that Autocomplete part has more search terms than related_searches. What do you think?

Yes. I'm wondering if we should parse this into another attribute, as it seems to be largely intersected with related_searches. wdyt? @aciddjus @ilyazub @kagermanov27

Hi @scxliu, we have added a new client gws-wiz for awhile now. We have observed it produces similar results to Google SERP page. Can you try it out on your query? And let us know if they works for you.
