Get real-time suggestions for query completion as you type, with token-by-token predictions that help you quickly finish your queries.
***Operator suggestions**. When typing the first letters of an operator, the system displays all matching operators related to those letters, helping you quickly find and select the appropriate one. For example, typing `co` might suggest `count`, `count_distinct`, `count_frequent`, `compare`, `compose`, or other related operators.

***Value suggestions**. When you start typing a source expression (e.g. `_sourceCategory=`), you will be provided with relevant built-in metadata field options to help autocomplete your query.

***Metadata Key-Value suggestions**. When you start typing a source expression (for example, `_sourceCategory=`), you will be provided with relevant metadata keys options to help autocomplete your query. And once you select a particular key, it displays the available values for the selected metadata. This not only displays the built-in metadata fields but also discovers the custom fields configured in your system.
37

***Clause Suggestions**. When you start typing the operators, you will be provided with the entire clause to complete the remaining portion of the clause. Clause suggestions are currently restricted to the `where`, `count`, `min`, `max`, `count_distinct`, `avg`, `first`, `last`, `stddev`, `sum`, `if`, `sort`, `limit`, `timeslice`, and `fields` operators.

Automatically receive suggestions for relevant [fields](/docs/manage/fields) in structured data like JSON logs, making field discovery much easier.
***Field suggestions**. For structured logs, the system automatically suggests relevant fields such as `userID`, `eventType`, or `timestamp` as you type. This eliminates the need for manual inspection of logs, making it easier to filter and aggregate data.
53

***Inline suggestions**. An inline suggestion is a real-time, context-aware recommendation within the search editor. By default, the first item in the dropdown is treated as an inline suggestion, but you can use the keyboard navigations to explore other suggestions, which will be shown inline. To apply an inline suggestion, press the Tab key.

***Contextual suggestions**. The system ranks suggestions based on common queries from your organization or your own previous queries. This ensures that your autocomplete options are not only relevant but also contextually accurate, speeding up the query-writing process. However, if you occasionally find that no suggestions appear, this could be because there is no relevant data available to offer a contextual suggestion.
