The hard way may be to use the standard Analyzing Suggester but to add each (analyzed) suffix of the surface string (mapping to the full surface form) during automaton generation.
I.e. when adding "Donau...", you add all analyzed suffixes "donau...", "onau...", "nau...", ... - all mapping to "Donau...", with identical rank. I think on equal inputs, the rank of the last one added wins, but I'm not sure. You may "drown" in unspecific suggestions at least for short inputs, and the automata will get large. But it should give you a suggester you can play around with to evaluate whether you need decompounding (you probably do).

If you break compound words into their constituent parts during analysis, then the suggester will be able to do what you want (prefix matches on the word-parts). I found this project with a quick google search: https://github.com/jprante/elasticsearch-analysis-decompound; I don't know how good it is or whether it fits with your environment, but it could be a start. -Mike On 10/27/14 6:34 AM, Michael Breu wrote: > Hello, > > I'm looking for an infix suggester that allows infix search for a given > term.
