Sir,

Is there any suffix query in elastic search. I can retrieve data from  
document by using prefix query. how can I retrieve data from document by  
using a suffix of any string. for example by using prefix we can search a  
string like "_Edu_cation" with "Edu"  
{  
"prefix" : {  
"system":"Edu"  
}  
}

It is possible to search same string with its suffix i.e. "Edu_cation_"  
with its "ion" or with its middle letters like "cat".

Thanks and regards  
Mohit Kumar Yadav

You should look at Ngram tokenizer. It will probably help here.
