# Suggest published business names and taxonomy categories

`GET /v1/suggest`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://loppee.com`
- URL: `https://loppee.com/v1/suggest`
- Auth: none declared

Cheap, deterministic typeahead for the public search UI. Business-name rows are lexical name_query labels from visible Registry inventory, never branch selections, profile authority, rankings, recommendations, reach decisions, Sponsored placement, or impressions. Selecting one runs the normal exact intent=name search. Category suggestions come from the closed taxonomy.

## Query parameters

- `q` string

## Response `200`
