# Build your search interface

To build a Coveo-powered commerce search page, you must interact with the [**Search** endpoint of the Commerce API](https://docs.coveo.com/en/103#tag/Search).
More specifically, you need:

* A search box for visitors to enter their queries.
This search box should call the [**Request query suggestions**](https://docs.coveo.com/en/103#tag/Search/operation/querySuggest) endpoint of the Commerce API to provide type ahead suggestions.

It can also call the [**Request product suggestions**](https://docs.coveo.com/en/103#tag/Search/operation/productSuggest) endpoint when a query suggestion is hovered to provide instant products for that query.

* A search results page to display the search results.
This page should target the [**Search** endpoint of the Commerce API](https://docs.coveo.com/en/103#tag/Search/operation/search) to retrieve the search results to display.
It also handles the response to display the different user interface elements, such as the search results, facet options, and pagination.
