For the moment, this is a feature weād love to add in, but itās 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 weād have to use a 3rd party API. Doing this would come with a fair few issues of its own.
We have been reviewing our priorities again, and notably after the large survey over the last few months. Itās 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.
Since I originally posted, Mojeek began testing a ārelated queriesā feature.
That is based on LLM generated suggestions. And, Iām guessing it would be the basis for search suggestions if Mojeek offers that feature in the future.

Any updates on suggestions? I cannot believe people are not missing them, they can prevent 90% of my typos and save a lot of time. I currently use Waterfox with Mojeek as the default search engine in the address bar (itās that time of the year when I give Mojeek another chanceā¦) and I donāt know where it pulls the suggestions from but I LOVE that I can finally use Mojeek with suggested searches. I feel very strongly about search suggestions, they are such a basic feature itās hard to imagine Mojeek succeed without them.
On the plus side, Iāve done a few searches from my laptop today and saw ads multiple times, which is great and makes me hopeful about the financial security of Mojeek. Last but not least (sorry this is ending up being a feedback dump) the Mojeek mobile app really needs an āxā button in the input field to clear the previous query
Weāve definitely been busy @sqrl so thanks for the love
The product ads are working well as something which hopefully adds value. Have you updated to the latest app which had a number of improvements? A big update to query relevance will hopefully rollout in the next few weeks so watch this space!
