When using Google search, LG keyboard doesn't have word suggestions

[Android Central Question]

I've set the LG keyboard (LG G8 ThinQ) to use word suggestions/predictive text. It works great unless I'm using Google Search, then there's nothing.

Welcome to Android Central! Can you clarify -- are you typing in the Google search app, the Google search website, or the URL bar of your browser?

Try clearing cache and force stop the keyboard

Welcome to Android Central! Can you show us a screenshot of what it looks like when you type something into the search bar? http://forums.androidcentral.com/ge...ide-how-post-screenshots-android-central.html

See attachments, first screen shot is using gmail and it has suggested words and the second screen shot is google search without word suggestion.

I also have this exact issue. My phone is an LG Velvet running Android 11. The issue is with the Google search app using the LG keyboard. There is a workaround if you switch your default keyboard to Google's default keyboard (called Gboard) using the keyboard icon in the bottom right of the screen. But I dislike that keyboard.

Any help would be great!

Hi, welcome to AC!

If I remember correctly double check settings on LG keyboard to make sure suggesting is enabled.. Toggle off and on...

My lg g7 thinq is having this issue. No predictive text when using chrome search bar but everything else the text shows up. Force stopping chrome doesn't work and restarting phone doesn't work. I don't know how to Force stop the stock keyboard. I don't see it in the apps.

Hi welcome to AC!
You dont see your keyboard in settings>apps?
Try settings>apps>3 dots upper right corner tap >system apps ?
