What it does
Settings Services is Google's version of the Settings Intelligence app from the Android Open Source Project. It builds and serves the search index behind the search field in Settings, and it supplies the contextual suggestion cards Settings shows, such as reminders to finish setup steps. It runs when Settings needs search results or suggestions and has no icon of its own.
Also shown as Settings Suggestions, Settings Intelligence.
If you disable it
Searching in Settings stops working and suggestion cards disappear; the settings screens themselves still open.
