Do you want to show suggestions?

Sometimes it happens that a person forgets the spelling or any term related to that particular word which he wants to search. For that, they have provided a specific feature that will find the related terms that are included in that particular topic or the particular statement.

If you want to show suggestions then, how many?

The suggestions do not look very annoying and only the limited terms will be suggested for which the limitation of suggestion is given. This limitation can be set by the admin on the BuddyPress Global Search Plugin setting part.
