Hi ES Community,

Had a few of Completion Suggester related questions that I'd greatly appreciate any feedback on.

1. If I wanted to boost by popularity of a search on a suggest field, is that possible? For example, using a score modifier?

2. Can one use Explain with Completion Suggester queries?

3. If I ...  
a) set up a suggest field with analyzer: whitespace and search\_analyzer: whitespace  
b) add the following suggest inputs for a given entry ["hi", "there", "hi there"]  
c) run a suggest query with text = "there hi"  
... it returns 0 results. Is this because completion suggesters are prefix queries? If so, is there some analyzer I can use where order doesn't matter?

Thank You!

Christine
