Hello Team,

I am using elasticsearch 5.6 cluster and when I try to perform suggest query it is giving duplicate results. As data in the field contain duplicate data but I need a unique suggest result.

Mapping -- \>  
{  
"indexTest-21-12-17": {  
"mappings": {  
"policy": {  
"properties": {  
"SuggestAccountName": {  
"type": "completion",  
"analyzer": "simple",  
"preserve\_separators": true,  
"preserve\_position\_increments": true,  
"max\_input\_length": 1000  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

Query --\>  
{"SuggestAccountName":{"text":"TE","completion":{"field":"SuggestAccountName","size":5}}}

You might want to look into the skip\_duplicates option which is available as of 6.1: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/search-suggesters-completion.html#skip\_duplicates](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/search-suggesters-completion.html#skip_duplicates).
