What is Amazon autocomplete?
Amazon autocomplete is the list of search suggestions Amazon shows under its search box as you type. It comes from what shoppers search, so every suggestion is a phrase real buyers use.

1.How the suggestions are chosen
Amazon’s autocomplete patent says the list favors “the items and/or search strings that are currently the most popular.” Amazon doesn’t publish how it ranks today’s list.
We see at most 10 suggestions per query. They change by country and by the department picked in the menu next to the search box.
2.How sellers use it
Type your product’s main words, then add a space and each letter from a to z, and write down what Amazon suggests. That finds the words buyers type after yours. A suggestion proves people search a phrase, but not how many do, and its place in the list isn’t a search count.
Shopperwords runs this for you: as you type, it asks Amazon 28 questions, including the words before your keyword, and shows the answers in three columns.
