Users can concentrate on their tasks, boosting efficiency and search accuracy. This minimalist approach is especially helpful for users who find constant suggestions overwhelming, thereby enhancing the overall UX.\n\n\u003e **Search suggestions are still available on search engine webpage.**  \n\u003e Sometimes, search engine provides **[grammatically wrong suggestions](https://support.google.com/websearch/thread/56300495/sometimes-google-search-gives-me-grammatically-wrong-suggestions?hl=en)** (check google community forums for more info)\n\n### \u003cimg src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Tarikul-Islam-Anik/Animated-Fluent-Emojis/master/Emojis/Smilies/Face%20with%20Crossed-Out%20Eyes.png\" alt=\"Face with Crossed-Out Eyes\" width=\"25\" height=\"25\" align=\"top\"/\u003e **`Data privacy`**\n\nSuggestions are often based on the user's browsing history, frequently visited websites, and search patterns. Consequently, this personal data can be vulnerable, leading to privacy violations or badly targeted advertising. Users may also feel uncomfortable with the notion that their search behavior is being tracked and used for commercial or other purposes without their explicit consent.\n\n### \u003cimg src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Tarikul-Islam-Anik/Animated-Fluent-Emojis/master/Emojis/Smilies/Face%20in%20Clouds.png\" alt=\"Face in Clouds\" width=\"25\" height=\"25\" align=\"top\"/\u003e **`Echo chambers`**\n\nThe reliance on personalized suggestions may result in the formation of echo chambers, limiting users' exposure to diverse perspectives and information. This can potentially reinforce existing biases and restrict the exploration of alternative viewpoints.\n\n\u003e **In other words, the user gains significantly improved search results by correctly formulating the search query themselves, rather than relying on suggestions.**\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\n## Install\n\n1.
