The suggestions list will include up to 8 items.
Recent items are strings that the specific user has searched for in the past. They will be presented only after the user has conducted at least one previous search, and will include the most recent searches only.
Popular items are strings that are being frequently searched by a lot of users.
Trending items are strings that are being frequently searched by a lot of users, within a recent time frame.
The number of recent and popular/trending items should be equal, unless there’s not enough data to provide an equal amount of both types. In this case the list may be divided unequally.

Each item will be accompanied by an icon, indicating the type of suggestion (recent or popular/trending).
Use this component only if the user is expected to search for previously searched queries or popular/trending queries.
