I have a [suggest query](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-suggesters.html) that is not returning a document and I would like to understand the reason. Is there any way to debug why this happens? I tried using the [explain API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-explain.html) but this does not return back any useful information.
