In your search page just add:

Register Event:

SearchPane.GetForCurrentView().SuggestionsRequested += OnSuggestionsRequested;

Handle suggestion request event:

void OnSuggestionsRequested(SearchPane sender, SearchPaneSuggestionsRequestedEventArgs args)
{
    string query = args.QueryText.ToLower();
    string[] terms = { "salt", "pepper", "water", "egg", "vinegar", "flour", "rice", "sugar", "oil" };

    foreach(var term in terms)
    {
        if (term.StartsWith(query))
            args.Request.SearchSuggestionCollection.AppendQuerySuggestion(term);
    }
}
