Transport client. thanks.

```
String[] suggest(String w) {
    def response = client.prepareSearch("my_location")
                         .setTypes("my_type")
                         .setSize(0)
                         .setQuery(QueryBuilders.matchAllQuery())
                         .suggest(SuggestBuilders.completionSuggestion("my_suggestion")
                                                 .prefix(w)
                                                 .field("c_tags")
                                                 .size(100))
                         .execute()
                         .actionGet()
    println(response.suggest)
  }
```

In the REST client you would write something like:

```auto
client.search(new SearchRequest().source(
        new SearchSourceBuilder().suggest(
                new SuggestBuilder().addSuggestion("did_you_mean", SuggestBuilders.completionSuggestion("country_suggest")))
));

```

I think it's similar in Transport Client. (You should move to REST Client BTW).

                         .setQuery(QueryBuilders.matchAllQuery())
                         .suggest(new SuggestBuilder().addSuggestion("my_sugg", SuggestBuilders.completionSuggestion("c_tags")
                                                                                               .prefix(w)))

                         .actionGet()
    println(response.suggest)
