As stated here a field in Elasticsearch, defined as type "completion" together with a certain analyzer + tokenizer, is first split up according to the underlying logic of those parts and then "stitched" together again. However I'm verry unhappy with this behaviour.
This is my current mapping setup (excerpt):
"mappings": {
    "movie": {
      "properties": {
        "title": {
          "analyzer": "standard",
          "fields": {
            "autocomplete": {
              "type": "completion"
              "analyzer": "whitespace",
            }
          },
          "type": "string"
        }
      }
    }
}
Let's take a movie with the title  Harry Potter  for example:
When I enter the prefix  Har  I get the suggestion  Harry Potter . When I enter  Pot  instead, I get no result at all, because the individual tokens  Harry  and  Potter  were stitched together to  Harry Potter  immediately after analyzing/tokenizing.
Now what I would like is the following behaviour: When I enter  Pot  I'd want the Completion Suggester to return  Potter . Not  Harry Potter , but simply  Potter . Is this somehow possible? Caution: I don't even need the reference to the document which created the suggestion. So if it's somehow possible to throw all generated tokens in a pot and then retrieve suggestions from there, that would be awesome (due to some other stuff I have to do).
