Filtered autocomplete (suggester)

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,
I am trying to combine it with the query or a filter with suggester, so
that suggestions are returned only for the hits. Is it possible to
constraint autcomplete (or any suggester for that matter) to work on a
subset of data. E.g. I've got some users with associated documents and I
want to serve them document title suggestions but only for the documents
they can access. I've tried:

{
"filter" : {
"term" : {
"user_id" : "test"
}
},
"suggest" : {
"title_suggester" : {
"text" : "r",
"completion" : {
"field" : "title_suggest"
}
}
}
}

and it returns all documents for user "test, and all suggestions for all
users. I was able to hack around it by introducing an extra user_id as a
prefix for every suggestions, but looking for a more principled way.
Thanks!

Hey,

the completion suggester does not execute a real search query as it uses
different data structures. This also means, that it does not support
filters. There are plans to support something like a context in order to
have a lightweight filter, see

This will allow you suggest only for products in a certain category or for
restaurants around you (as it also has geo support).
