I am trying to do a suggest on a filtered data. Let me explain this Let's suppose on an eCommerce portal I had text-box where I type a category and using "suggest" the elasticseach will return some options. Now I select one of this option (I call this selected category) and try to type sub-category in another text-box. In this case internally I want to elasticseach to suggest only those categories that are with the selected category How can I achieve this? ---

The [Context Suggester](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/suggester-context.html) may provide what you need. It allows you to provide suggestions "in the context" of some category field/tag, so that you only get suggestions that are relevant to the filtered criteria. ---
