# searchSuggestionsPlacement

The current placement of search suggestions.

## Declaration

```swift
var searchSuggestionsPlacement: SearchSuggestionsPlacement { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Search suggestions render based on the platform and surrounding context in which you place the searchable modifier containing suggestions. You can render search suggestions in two ways: In a menu attached to the search field. Inline with the main content of the app. You find the current search suggestion placement by querying the searchSuggestionsPlacement in your search suggestions. enum FruitSuggestion: String, Identifiable {     case apple, banana, orange     var id: Self { self } }

@State private var text: String = "" @State private var suggestions: [FruitSuggestion] = []

var body: some View {     MainContent()         .searchable(text: $text) {             FruitSuggestions(suggestions: suggestions)         } }

struct FruitSuggestions: View {     var suggestions: [FruitSuggestion]

@Environment(\.searchSuggestionsPlacement)     private var placement

var body: some View {         if shouldRender {             ForEach(suggestions) { suggestion in                 Text(suggestion.rawValue.capitalized)                     .searchCompletion(suggestion.rawValue)             }         }     }

var shouldRender: Bool {         #if os(iOS)         placement == .menu         #else         true         #endif     } } In the above example, search suggestions only render in iOS if the searchable modifier displays them in a menu. You might want to do this to render suggestions in your own list alongside your own search results when they would render in a list.
