Please allow me to link to a StackOverflow thread I created today:

> <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20124356/what-is-an-effective-way-to-search-world-wide-location-names-with-elasticsearch>

In summary: I am trying to create a world-wide location search box similar  
to Google Maps'. I've tried a bunch of different configurations but I just  
can't seem to nail it. Any advice is much appreciated. It doesn't have to  
be a full-blown solution but just some tips on what direction I should be  
going.

Thanks, all!
