Hello everybody ,

i'm newbie in elastisearch ,  
I want to make autocomplete feature on my site ,  
How to make query like this on elasticsearch engine "SELECT \* FROM Gadget where title like '%asus zenfone 2 ZE%'  
I have tried several way to get the relevance result , but until this time i got result but not relevant data ,  
when i search with keyword "red" i don't find "Xiaomi Redmi" on my search result , i must set "redmi" on my keyword

this is my analyze setting

"settings": {  
"analysis": {  
"filter": {  
"nGram\_filter": {  
"type": "nGram",  
"min\_gram": 2,  
"max\_gram": 20,  
"token\_chars": [  
"letter",  
"digit",  
"punctuation",  
"symbol"  
]  
}  
},  
"analyzer": {  
"nGram\_analyzer": {  
"type": "custom",  
"tokenizer": "whitespace",  
"filter": [  
"lowercase",  
"asciifolding",  
"nGram\_filter"  
]  
},  
"whitespace\_analyzer": {  
"type": "custom",  
"tokenizer": "whitespace",  
"filter": [  
"lowercase",  
"asciifolding"  
]  
}  
}  
}

So many thanks for your enlightenment friend 😄
