when I'm using `Completion Suggester`, it ignores spaces. for example if I search `foo b` the result isn't contains `foo bar` but when I search for `fo` the result contains `foo bar`

this is my index mapping:

```
     {
        "mappings": {
          "tag": {
            "properties": {
              "suggest": {
                "type": "completion",
                "analyzer": "simple",
                "preserve_separators": true,
                "preserve_position_increments": true,
                "max_input_length": 50
              }
            }
          }
        }
    }

```

my request:

```
POST http://localhost:9200/index/_search
    {
      "suggest": {
        "tag_suggests": {
          "prefix": "foo f",
          "completion": {
            "field": "suggest"
          }
        }
      }
    }

```

and the result not contains `foo bar`. but when I search for `foo` the result contails `foo bar` !
