It's not related to FSRiver. That said, you should think of using EdgeNgram analyzer. See: [Elastic — The Search AI Company | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/index-modules/analysis/edgengram-tokenfilter.html) And ask for facets. But, you should be aware of the memory usage in that case. Doing facets on fields like comments or files that have a hug number of different values could require lot of memory. It really depends on what you want to display to your user: filename or word. For filename, you don't need to build facets.

I want the autocomplete on keywords that exist in the content of document (field content). but requires a lot of memory, so the best way to do this is to use EdgeNgram analyzer and facets is its? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
