SharePoint 2013: Search Suggestions Not Working After Configuration

Simple trap to avoid when configuring SP2013 Search - once you’ve set up search suggestions, they won’t automatically show when you do a search.

The reason for this is that behind the scenes there is a timer job that performs the processing of the search suggestions you’ve added.

To have the suggestions appear immediately, you need to run this command in PowerShell:

Start-SPTimerJob -Identity “prepare query suggestions”
