You weren't really clear on how you are generating your autocomplete results -- ie: via TermsComponent on your "main" index? or via a search on a custom index where each document is a "word" to suggested?
Assuming the later, then the approach you describe below sounds good to me, but it doesn't seem like it would really make sense for hte former. : Hi, I have an autocomplete that is currently working with an : NGramTokenizer so if I search for "Yo" both "New York" and "Toyota" : are valid results. However I'm trying to figure out how to best : implement the search so that from a score perspective if the string : matches the beginning of an entire field it ranks first, followed by : the beginning of a term and then in the middle of a term. For example : if I was searching with "vi" I would want Virginia ahead of West : Virginia ahead of Five. : : I think I can do this with three seperate fields, one using a white : space tokenizer and a ngram filter, another using the edge-ngram + : whitespace and another using keyword+edge-ngram, then doing an or on : the 3 fields, so that Virginia would match all 3 and get a higher : score... but this doesn't feel right to me, so I wanted to check for : better options. : : Thanks. : -Hoss
