[As documented](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-suggesters-completion.html#querying), the `size` key can be used to choose how many results to return. It indeed defaults to five.

suggestQuery: function (field, query) {  
suggestBody = {  
"company-suggest": {  
"text": "",  
"completion": {  
"field": "",  
"size":"10"  
}  
}  
};

Your `field` value shouldn't be empty; it should contain the name of the field from which you want to pull the completion suggestions.

The field value is replacing by the dynamic value where user can we set default value or not.

What's the question? The code snippet you posted earlier looks reasonable (if you fill in a field name and some text you want to complete), so what's the problem?
