If I install Chrome and start typing in the omnibox, I will get search suggestions from Google.
I know it is a privacy issue. But has Mojeek considered supporting search suggestions?
For example, the settings in Vivaldi allow you to add a suggest URL.
Maybe there could be a suggest.mojeek.com which had a search plugin that included suggestions. In this way, users could opt into suggestions.
Not during my tenure; no such thing as a bad idea, or one that shouldn’t be looked at, so I’ll raise it 
For the moment, this is a feature we’d love to add in, but it’s a difficult one.
The Google implementation, for example, is based upon a very large volume of past queries, so in order for this to work at the moment for us we’d have to use a 3rd party API. Doing this would come with a fair few issues of its own.
Rest assured we’re keeping it in mind.
Sounds good. Thanks for looking into it.
Any updates on this?
We have been reviewing our priorities again, and notably after the large survey over the last few months. It’s not a feature that many have requested there and through other channels, so other developments have taken priority. Of course, if it was a quick-win and without the issues Josh mentioned above, it could be different.
Maybe with a LLM it’s possible to suggest okay-ish queries without relying on a third party?
Welcome @B_Lurry
I have not looked at this issue in a while.
Since I originally posted, Mojeek began testing a “related queries” feature.
That is based on LLM generated suggestions. And, I’m guessing it would be the basis for search suggestions if Mojeek offers that feature in the future.
You can read more, and test the feature by manually adding a custom cookie to your browser:
As a sidenote, while researching this issue, I noticed that Nvidia acquired Mojeek’s LLM host, Lepton, in April.
What effect do you think the acquisition will have on privacy and cost?
@mike because of this we have very recently switched to using Mistral direct, rather than Mistral on Lepton.
