Search Suggestions System
Explore how to implement a search suggestions system that suggests up to three product names based on the prefix typed in a search word. Understand how to use trie data structures to efficiently find lexicographically ordered products sharing common prefixes. This lesson helps you design solutions for prefix-based search queries with constraints on the number of suggestions.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
Given an array of strings called products and a word to search, design a system that, when each character of the searched word is typed, suggests at most three product names from products. Suggested products should share a common prefix with the searched word. If more than three products exist with a common prefix, return the three product names that appear first in lexicographical order.
Return the suggested products, which will be a list of lists after each character of searched word is typed.
Constraints:
-
products.length
