Hi, I am new to elastic search. I am designing my indices now. I want to confirm that should I make the fields firstname and lastname as text if I want to have auto complete on them? Or keyword is also works? Thanks ---

There are a few ways to implement autocomplete in Elasticsearch. I suggest that you take a look into and experiment with [Suggesters](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-suggesters.html) ---
