Hello,

I am looking for autocomplete functionality for the hierarchical data and was wondering if it's possible to achieve this functionality with elasticsearch. As an example, consider the below data.

"phrase1" / "word1" / "phrase2"  
"phrase1" / "word2"  
"word2" / "phrase3" / "word3"  
.....

where phrasex and wordx are any english words/phrases.

The suggestions should only be from the immediate children of root node until there is a match on the input and one of the top level nodes. The subsequent suggestions should be from the child of the node that had a match.  
Is this possible?

Thanks much.
