$query = new Elastica\_Query\_Wildcard('title', $term . '\*');  
$query\_ = new Elastica\_Query($query);  
$query\_-\>setLimit($json['limit']);  
$query\_-\>setFrom($json['offset']);  
$result\_set = $search\_type-\>search($query\_);

This is what i am i using to get the results form the ElasticSearch, but it  
works until there is no WhiteSpace in $term like "O", "On", "One"

but as soon I add next word, nothing is searched at all that is "One T"

I have tried the TextQuery as well

$query = new Elastica\_Query\_Text();  
$query-\>setField('title', $term);

$query\_ = new Elastica\_Query($query);  
$query\_-\>setLimit($json['limit']);  
$query\_-\>setFrom($json['offset']);  
$result\_set = $search\_type-\>search($query\_);

Can someone please help.

Actually need to implement Autocomplete feature , but i don't have core  
knowledge of ElasticSearch, working on the Upper layer with PHP Only. I have  
heared I need to do Mapping for my content, what exactly does that mean,  
didn't find any good document for this.

Thanks, any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks
