There are numerous pages that show how to do this with PowerShell, but I found none on how to do it with plain old C#, so here it goes!
To abbreviate, I wanted to have SharePoint suggest the site collection user’s names after the first letters are filled in a search site’s search box. Here’s how I did it:
1: //get the Search Service Application (replace with your own name)
2: SearchServiceApplication searchApp = farm.Services.GetValue<SearchQueryAndSiteSettingsService>().Applications.GetValue<SearchServiceApplication>("Search Service Application") as SearchServiceApplication;
3:
4: Ranking ranking = new Ranking(searchApp);
5:
6: //replace EN-US with your language of choice
7: LanguageResourcePhraseList suggestions = ranking.LanguageResources["EN-US"].QuerySuggestionsAlwaysSuggestList;
8:
9: foreach (SPUser user in rootWeb.Users)
10: {
11: suggestions.AddPhrase(user.Name, String.Empty);
12: }
13:
14: //get the job that processes suggestions and run it
15: SPJobDefinition job = SPFarm.Local.Services.OfType<SearchService>().SelectMany(x => x.JobDefinitions).Where(x => x.Name == "Prepare query suggestions").Single();
16: job.RunNow();
You may do this, for example, on a feature. Of course, feel free to change users for something else, all suggestions are treated as pure text.
