I want to have a field `tags` as `completion`, and I do not want this field to participate in the scoring, so I am trying to apply the mapping

```auto
"tags": {
    "type": "completion",
    "index": false
}

```

And I am getting an error

```auto
ElasticsearchStatusException[Elasticsearch exception [type=mapper_parsing_exception, reason=Mapping definition for [tags] has unsupported parameters: [index : false]]]

```

How should be the mapping?

the `completion` field does not support the `index` setting. If you execute a full text search query, any field of type `completion` will not participate in scoring. What makes you think otherwise?
