An empty search box gives a visitor no starting point – a short list of suggested keywords underneath it lowers that barrier and points them toward searches you know return good results.
The Search Bar widget’s Keyword Suggestions Area popover, in Extra Option, adds a manually-curated list of clickable suggestion terms below the input.
For the full settings tour of the Search Bar widget, see Search Bar Widget Settings Overview.
