# Search-as-you-type
In the context of the [Coveo JavaScript Search Framework](https://docs.coveo.com/en/187/), {doctitle} is a feature that triggers a new [query](https://docs.coveo.com/en/231/) whenever the user types additional text in the search box.

When combined with [query suggestions](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1015/), the framework uses the top query suggestion as a [basic query expression (`q`)](https://docs.coveo.com/en/178/) when executing the automatic query.
