Hi,
I read the document and see that the default is 50.
I have tried to input too long to check:
like that:
curl -X PUT 'localhost:9200/music/song/2?refresh=true' -d '{
```
"name" : "Nevermind",
"suggest" : {
"input": [ "Nevermind XYZ","When an existing mapping already exists
```
under the given type, the two mapping definitions, the one already defined,
and the new ones are merged. The ignore\_conflicts parameters can be used to
control if conflicts should be ignored or not, by default, it is set
to false which means conflicts are _not_ ignored." ],
```
"output": "Nirvana - Nevermind X 2",
"payload" : { "artistId" : 2321 },
"weight" : 34
}
```
}'
It give me successful.
I have tried to test suggest:
curl -X POST 'localhost:9200/music/\_suggest?pretty' -d '{
```
"song2-suggest" : {
"text" : "When an existing mapping already exists under the given
```
type, the two mapping definitions, the one already defined, and the new
ones are merged",
```
"completion" : {
"field" : "suggest"
}
}
```
}'
Then it show me the result -\> still work although the text lengh is over 50.
So it mean the "max\_input\_len" value is not work as expected right ?
