While using the completion suggester, the entire content will be matched  
for the query.  
Instead of that, I want to have the completion to be enabled for the terms  
in the index.

Is it possible using completion suggester or should I have to go for other  
options?

Thanks,  
Anand

Dear Anand,

I really appreciate your question because I face a similar problem, still  
unsolved (you may refer to this post  
[https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topicsearchin/elasticsearch/suggest$20OR$20completion$20OR$20typeahead/elasticsearch/yiebM3dm4EE](https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topicsearchin/elasticsearch/suggest$20OR$20completion$20OR$20typeahead/elasticsearch/yiebM3dm4EE)).  
I hope someone comes up with a solution.

Kind Regards,  
Christian
