curl -X PUT localhost:9200/hotels/hotel/1 -d '  
{  
"name" : "Mercure Hotel Munich",  
"city" : "Munich",  
"name\_suggest" : {  
"input" : [  
"Mercure Hotel Munich",  
"Mercure Munich"  
]  
}  
}'

In the above example - There is a possibility to have many different ways user can search.  
If we have 100K documents of hotels - It's impossible to assign input fields for each document during mapping.

Is there any alternative that i can use - For instance - i can have a column in my DB for input field( input suggest). How can i assign input suggest field to input in mapping ?

Thank you.
