  POST /test_index/test_type/1
{
  "title": "Apple iPhone 6+",
  "description": "some description"
}

POST /test_index/test_type/2
{
  "title": "Apple iPhone I Phone 5 Original",
 "description": "some description"
}
POST /test_index/test_type/3
{
  "title": "Apple iMac 21.5/2.8GHz/i5/8GB 2016",
  "description": "some description"
}
POST /test_index/test_type/4
{
  "title": "Apple i Phone 4S",
  "description": "some description"
}

POST /test_index/test_type/5
{
  "title": "Amazon kindle",
  "description": "some description"
}

POST /test_index/test_type/6
{
  "title": "Apploo i Phone 4S",
  "description": "some description"
}

```

#autocomplete  
POST /test\_index/\_search/  
{  
"aggs": {  
"autocomplete": {  
"terms": {  
"field": "autocomplete",  
"order": {  
"\_count": "desc"  
},  
"include": "APP._"  
}  
}  
},  
"query": {  
"query\_string": {  
"query": "APP_",  
"fields": [  
"autocomplete"  
]  
}  
}  
}

This is not supported in case-sensitive, and whitespace search (I phone). If I search "I phone" or "APPLE" there is no aggregation result.
