Hi!  
I am going to make completion suggester in my search page, I used the display\_name as the text, and I would like to insert id as the weight for sorting the suggester.  
Here is my logstash filter

```
filter {
if [type] == "product"{
	mutate {
		add_field => { "product_suggest" => "%{display_name}" }
		add_field => { "weight" => "%{id}" }
		add_field => { "product_suggester" => "%{display_name}" }
		remove_field => ["attribute_value_en", "attribute_value_sc"]
	}
}
if [type] == "merchant"{
	mutate {
		add_field => { "merchant_suggest" => "%{merchant_name}" }
		add_field => { "weight" => "%{id}" }
		add_field => { "merchant_suggester" => "%{merchant_name}" }
	}
}
}

```

Here is the example I try to write

```
PUT music/song/1?refresh
{
"suggest" : [
    {
        "input": "Nevermind",
        "weight" : 10
    },
    {
        "input": "Nirvana",
        "weight" : 3
    }
]
}
```

I don't understand what you're trying to do. How is Logstash related to the search form completion feature on your web page? And what exact problem are you facing?

In the example,  
the **Nevermind** is the suggester with **weight** 10.

And I am going to use logstash to make  
the **display\_name** as the suggester with **wight** follow the id

I find that it works with the following filter

```
filter {
if [type] == "product"{
	mutate {
		add_field => { "[product_suggest][input]" => "%{display_name}"}
		add_field => { "[product_suggest][weight]" => "%{id}"}
		remove_field => ["attribute_value_en", "attribute_value_sc"]
	}
}
if [type] == "merchant"{
	mutate {
		add_field => { "[merchant_suggest][input]" => "%{merchant_name}"}
		add_field => { "[merchant_suggest][weight]" => "%{id}"}
	}
    }
}
```
