SearchSuggestEnabled

Enable search suggestions.

When search suggestions are enabled, the text you type into the address bar or Search bar is sent to the default search engine. The search engine analyzes the submitted text and displays a list of popular results based on the search term. The SearchSuggestEnabled policy covers both the address bar and the separate search bar, and locks the setting so the user cannot change it.

For the Firefox Suggest results that come from Mozilla rather than from the search engine, use the FirefoxSuggest policy.
