Luma widgets render responses from Discovery surfaces. Each widget calls a surface whose intent matches the frontend experience.

| Luma widget | Surface intent | Service kind |
|---|---|---|
| Autocomplete widget | `autocomplete` | `search` |
| Search widget | `search` | `search` |
| Recommendations widget | `recommender` | `recommender` |

Surface intent describes the storefront experience. Service kind identifies the backend service that powers it. Autocomplete has its own surface intent but uses the search service kind.
