Let's say I have many text fields indexed:

```auto
{
  "body": "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
}

{
  "body": "There was a quick brown fox in a forest"
}

{
  "body": "Forest was a most fun place for a lazy dog to play."
}

{
  "body": "He wants a lazy dog to play."
}
...

```

I would like to implement a search phrase suggestion by the phrases in the text that are indexed. Let's say if an user types `qui` the suggestions show `quick`. If user types `quick` it would suggest `quick brown`, `quick brown fox` etc.

OOTB `autocomplete` feature seems to give me whole body field, not just phrase. `search_as_you_type` does the same. `Term suggesters` suggests just one word, `phrase suggesters` just tries to fix typos. Nothing that I have tried seemed to give me the result I need.

Is there a way to do this, at first glance, simple task?
