# Enable Search Autocomplete for Guest Users

Sometimes you want your Experience Cloud site’s guest users to benefit from the suggestions that come from autocomplete on their search terms. To make it happen, you must explicitly make result types publicly available. For example, when you want guest users to see suggestions for Knowledge articles, you can set up your search component so that Knowledge results are public. After you set up autocomplete, search shows any Knowledge articles that match a guest user’s search terms in autocomplete suggestions.

1. In Experience Builder, click a search component.
    
    Autocomplete properties are available on most search components.
2. In the search component property editor, open the Autocomplete section and click an object.
    
    The object that you click is an object type that you want to make visible to guest users in search results. When you click an object, a window opens where you can select a different object type. So keep your original selection, or change it here.
3. Select **Publicly available**.
4. Click **Save**.
