I experience a problem with the completion suggester in Elasticsearch 7.9.1 (also present in 6.7)
If I have more than one suggest input with the same value for different contexts it will only find a completion for the first one, not the second.
The suggest Part of the Document looks like this.
```
"SUGGEST": [
{
"input": [
"Inzidenz",
"Notbremse",
"Kraft",
"Mallorca"
],
"contexts": {
"FIELD": [
"DESKT",
"DESKT_ABST"
]
}
},
{
"input": [
"Pandemie",
"Notbremse",
"Kraft"
],
"contexts": {
"FIELD": [
"TIT",
"TITSPLABST",
"TITSP",
"TITTXTSP",
"TIT_RHTI"
]
}
}
]
```
Both contein the input "Notbremse" But if I search for "Notbre" with the contexts FIELD "TITSPLABST" I get no results. But if I search for "Notbre" with the contexts FIELD "DESKT" i get the expected result. It depends on the order of the input fields in the document. if i change the order that the input field for "TITSPLABST" is before the other then it works.
How to reproduce:
create index:
```auto
PUT /suggest_test?pretty
{
"settings" : {
"index.mapping.nested_fields.limit" : 60,
"number_of_replicas" : 1,
"number_of_shards" : 6,
"index" : {
"analysis" : {
"char_filter" : {
"umlaut_filter" : {
"type" : "mapping",
"mappings" : ["\u00c4=>ae", "\u00e4=>ae", "\u00d6=>oe", "\u00f6=>oe", "\u00dc=>ue", "\u00fc=>ue", "\u00df=>ss", "\u00c6=>Ae", "\u00e6=>ae", "\u00d8=>Oe", "\u00f8=>oe"]
},
"underscore_pattern" : {
"type" : "pattern_replace",
"pattern" : "\\_",
"replacement" : ""
}
},
"tokenizer" : {
"sd_tokenizer" : {
"type" : "pattern",
"pattern" : "[^\\p{N}\\p{L}#]+",
"group" : "-1"
}
},
"filter" : {
"prefixFilter" : {
"type" : "pattern_capture",
"preserve_original" : true,
"patterns" : [
"([a-zA-Z]+[^#])$"
]
}
},
"analyzer" : {
"default": {
"type" : "custom",
"tokenizer" : "sd_tokenizer",
"char_filter" : ["umlaut_filter", "underscore_pattern"],
"filter" : ["lowercase", "asciifolding"]
},
"prefixAnalyzer": {
"tokenizer" : "sd_tokenizer",
"char_filter" : ["umlaut_filter", "underscore_pattern"],
"filter" : ["prefixFilter","lowercase", "asciifolding"]
},
"same_analyzer": {
"type" : "custom",
"tokenizer" : "keyword",
"char_filter" : ["umlaut_filter", "underscore_pattern"],
"filter" : ["lowercase", "asciifolding"]
},
"online_rechte_analyzer": {
"type" : "custom",
"tokenizer" : "sd_tokenizer",
"filter": ["lowercase"]
}
}
}
}
},
"mappings": {
"_source" : {
"enabled" : true
},
"dynamic" : "strict",
"properties" : {
"AK" : {
"properties" : {
"TITLE" : {
"type" : "text"
},
"TEXT" : {
"type" : "text"
}
}
},
"SUGGEST": {
"type": "completion",
"analyzer": "default",
"preserve_separators": true,
"preserve_position_increments": true,
"max_input_length": 25,
"contexts": [
{
"name": "FIELD",
"type": "category"
}
]
}
}
}
}
```
Put Document in it:
```auto
POST /suggest_test/_doc?refresh=true
{
"AK": [
{
"TITLE": "Die Notbremse tritt in Kraft",
"TEXT": [
"Inzidenz von 99,9, ab 100 soll die vereinbarte 'Notbremse' in Kraft treten.\n\n(O-Ton) Angela Merkel: \"Werden leider von der Notbremse Gebrauch machen muessen\" \n(O-Ton) Michael Kretschmer: Schnell umsteuern \n(O-Ton) Malu Dreyer: Oeffnung Aussengastronomie bei Kontaktbeeschraenkungen \n(O-Ton) Manuela Schwesig: Contro Reisen nach Mallorca, aber nicht im eigenen Bundesland \n(O-Ton) Angela Merkel: \"Devise lautet: Impfen, impfen, impfen \n(O-Ton) Ulrich Weigelt: Die Menschen moechten beim Hausarzt geimpft werden \n(O-Ton) Manuela Schwesig: (Impfstoff Sputnik V) Impfstoff muss sicher sein, Herkunft darf nicht entscheidend sein"
]
}
],
"SUGGEST": [
{
"input": [
"Inzidenz",
"Notbremse",
"Kraft",
"Mallorca"
],
"contexts": {
"FIELD": [
"DESKT",
"DESKT_ABST"
]
}
},
{
"input": [
"Pandemie",
"Notbremse",
"Kraft"
],
"contexts": {
"FIELD": [
"TIT",
"TITSPLABST",
"TITSP",
"TITTXTSP",
"TIT_RHTI"
]
}
}
]
}
```
Search for completion of "Notbrem" in contexts FIELD TITSPLABST (TITSPLABST is just a name from the Java context)
```auto
POST suggest_test/_search?pretty
{
"suggest": {
"hfdb-suggest" : {
"prefix" : "Notbrem",
"completion" : {
"field" : "SUGGEST" ,"skip_duplicates":false,"contexts":{
"FIELD":[{"context":"TITSPLABST","boost":1}]
}
}
}
}
}
```
no result
Now search for "Notbrem" in contexts FFIELD DESKT
```auto
POST suggest_test/_search?pretty
{
"suggest": {
"hfdb-suggest" : {
"prefix" : "Notbrem",
"completion" : {
"field" : "SUGGEST" ,"skip_duplicates":false,"contexts":{
"FIELD":[{"context":"DESKT","boost":1}]
}
}
}
}
}
```
Now I get a result.
I expected a result in the first query but didn't get one.
Could anybody please help me with this issue?
And if i missed some needed information i could provide it here.
