I want to refer the following example to code the suggestions function with java for elasticsearch 5.5.1,  
but I could not find the prepareSearch , addSuggestion methods like the example.  
Could you help me to solve the problem , thanks very much.

CompletionSuggestionBuilder compBuilder = new CompletionSuggestionBuilder("complete");  
compBuilder.text("n..");  
compBuilder.field("suggest");

SearchResponse searchResponse = localClient.prepareSearch(INDEX\_NAME)  
.setTypes("completion")  
.setQuery(QueryBuilders.matchAllQuery())  
.addSuggestion(compBuilder)  
.execute().actionGet();

CompletionSuggestion compSuggestion = searchResponse.getSuggest().getSuggestion("complete");

it's not `addSuggestion`, but just `suggest()` - have you tried that?
