After days of reading ... i'm still confused and need some help setting up an autocomplete function.
My intention is to provide search suggestions (as-you-type) to a twitter typeahead search box. So this means i don't want to return actual documents but ranked suggestion instead. The three suggesters seem to target exactly that so i thought to try the phrase suggester. { "accoms_unittest" : { "settings" : { "index" : { "uuid" : "t6hW60RoSmyS7sf8_GBrwg", "analysis" : { "filter" : { "filter_shingle" : { "type" : "shingle", "min_shingle_size" : "1", "max_shingle_size" : "4", "output_unigrams" : "true" } }, "analyzer" : { "shingle_analyzer" : { "type" : "custom", "filter" : [ "standard", "lowercase", "filter_shingle" ], "tokenizer" : "standard" } } }, "number_of_replicas" : "1", "number_of_shards" : "5", "version" : { "created" : "1000299" } } } } } { "accoms_unittest" : { "mappings" : { "modelresult" : { "_boost" : { "name" : "boost", "null_value" : 1.0 }, "properties" : { <...> "text_nl" : { "type" : "string", "store" : true, "term_vector" : "with_positions_offsets", "analyzer" : "snowball" }, "text_suggest_nl" : { "type" : "string", "store" : true, "term_vector" : "with_positions_offsets", "analyzer" : "shingle_analyzer" }, } } } } } GET accoms_unittest/_search { "query": { "match_all": {} }, "suggest": { "text": "levendige kleu", "simple_phrase" : { "phrase": { "field": "text_suggest_nl", "size": 5, "analyzer": "standard", "real_word_error_likelihood": 0.95, "max_errors": 1, "gram_size": 4, "direct_generator" : [ { "field" : "text_nl", "suggest_mode" : "always", "min_word_len" : 1 } ] } } }, "from": 0, "size": 0 } { "took": 8, "timed_out": false, "_shards": { "total": 5, "successful": 5, "failed": 0 }, "hits": { "total": 12, "max_score": 0, "hits": [] }, "suggest": { "simple_phrase": [ { "text": "levendige kleu", "offset": 0, "length": 14, "options": [] } ] } } I know one of the objects has following input text: "De levendige kleuren en de etc...", so i run following search experiments: "text": "levendige kleure" yields a suggestion "levendige kleuren" with score: 2854.164 "text": "levendig kleure" yields no results? "text": "levendi" also yields no suggestions? Obviously when a user starts typing i would like to see a suggestion like "levendige" based on input search text "lev". What am i missing here? - is this the way to go? - Paul Bormans -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
