Good day:

I'm trying to figure out how to index suggestion without splitting my text using a delimiter and storing it in the `CompletionField`:

```
 List<string> inputs = new List<string>() {
                facility.City,
                facility.State,
                facility.ZipCode
            };
            inputs.AddRange(facility.Name.Split(' '));
            inputs.AddRange(facility.Address.Split(' '));
            inputs.AddRange(facilityType.Description.Split(' '));
            var completionField = new CompletionField()
            {
                Input = inputs.AsEnumerable<string>()
            };
            return completionField;

```

This isn't a optimal way of doing this because, I would rather let the analyzer handle this as oppose to doing this and then indexing it. Is there a way to send the entire text to Elastic and let Elastic analyze the text and store in in the completionfield on indexing or something else?

**Updated**

I've my code to index the entire text and to use the default analyzer however, this is what was index and the analyzer isn't breaking the text up

```
"suggest": {
            "input": [
              "Reston",
              "Virginia",
              "20190",
              "Facility 123456",
              "22100 Sunset Hills Rd suite 150*"
            ]
          },

```

My code:

```
 List<string> inputs = new List<string>() {
                facility.City,
                facility.State,
                facility.ZipCode
            };
            inputs.Add(facility.Name);
            inputs.Add(facility.Address);
            if (facility.Description != null && facility.Description != "")
            {
                inputs.Add(facility.Description);
            }
            var completionField = new CompletionField()
            {
                Input = inputs.AsEnumerable<string>()
            };
            return completionField;
```
