I am trying to set up autocompletion[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-suggesters-completion.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-suggesters-completion.html) for the attachement field content and I am stuck. Here is a mapping for my attachment that seems to work fine. { "attachment" : { "\_source" : {"excludes" : ["file"]}, "\_all" : {"store" : "yes"}, "properties" : { "file\_name" : {"type" : "string", "null\_value" : "N/A"}, "file\_extension" : {"type" : "string", "null\_value" : "N/A"}, "file" : { "type" : "attachment", "path": "full", "fields" : { "file" : {"type" : "string", "term\_vector" : "with\_positions\_offsets", "store" : "yes"}, "title" : { "store" : "yes}, "date" : {"store" : "yes"}, "keywords" : {"store" : "yes"}, "content\_type" : {"store" : "yes"}, "content\_length" : {"store" : "yes"} } } } } } So i tried to get autocompletion with adding "suggest" : {"type" : "completion", "index\_analyzer" : "simple", "search\_analyzer" : "simple"} field to "attachment" type and modifying inner "file" field like "file" : {"type" : "string", "term\_vector" : "with\_positions\_offsets", "store" : "yes", "copy\_to" : "suggest"} and the only thing i've got returned by autocomplete action are file extensions. Then i tried multifield for inner "file" field "file" : { "type" : "multifield", "fields" : { "file" : {"type" : "string", "term\_vector" : "with\_positions\_offsets", "store" : "yes"}, "suggest" : {"type" : "completion", "index\_analyzer" : "simple", "search\_analyzer" : "simple" } } } and i've got the same result for autocomplete action, but extracted text becames unavailbale while queying "file" field.

Ok, I've found one more problem here. Attachments are available for the search directly after getiing into the system. If I'll try to get "file" field like [http://localhost:9200/demo/attachment/1?fields=file&pretty=true](http://localhost:9200/demo/attachment/1?fields=file&pretty=true) directly after I'll get base64 encoded string. _BUT_ after a period of time the same request will return "file" field with extracted text.

After 1s by default, your doc is stored in Lucene with all new fields generated by the mapper. Before that, when you get the file, it comes from the transaction log where it's stored as you send it.

Thanks for response. May this cause a problem while proceeding data for alternative field? Also the attachment field itself can't be copied, this action could be performed only for it's inner fields. When I am trying to set this mapping option it just disappears. So the initial question about autocomplete is still relevant. воскресенье, 23 февраля 2014 г., 9:05:55 UTC пользователь David Pilato написал: > After 1s by default, your doc is stored in Lucene with all new fields > generated by the mapper. > Before that, when you get the file, it comes from the transaction log > where it's stored as you send it. > > My 2 cents. > > -- > David 😉 > Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs > > Le 23 févr. 2014 à 00:22, Jimmy Reeves \<[6675636b6d6...@gmail.com](mailto:6675636b6d6...@gmail.com)\\> > a écrit : > > Ok, I've found one more problem here. > Attachments are available for the search directly after getiing into the > system.
