I have a custom search solution that uses search suggestions api:
/_api/search/suggest?querytext='tes'&inumberofquerysuggestions=10&fprequerysuggestions=true&fprefixmatchallterms=true&culture=1033
This api endpoint used to work before but has started returning empty results lately.
I also checked on other tenants as well, the api doesn't return results on all tenants (it used to return results before).
I have a query suggestions text file in place as explained here
Steps to reproduce
- Login to any SharePoint online tenant
- Add a query suggestions text document like the one attached below by following steps mentioned here
QuerySuggestions_alwayssuggest.TXT - Try to query the suggestions after waiting for at least 24 hours after adding the query suggestions
- Test the api endpoint after 24 hours of waiting: /_api/search/suggest?querytext='tes'&inumberofquerysuggestions=10&fprequerysuggestions=true&fprefixmatchallterms=true&culture=1033
Expected behavior
If the query suggestions have been added, the suggestions api should return suggestions for any text that belongs in the suggestions text file
