Hi Team,

So, I am using ESv.6.4. and my requirement is, I want to search the longest matched hierarchy in search results and break the path from the nearest separator.

# my data is

India/Up/Noida  
India/Delhi/Gurugram  
India/Delhi/NewDelhi  
India/RJ

case 1) when user search "India"  
O/p: "India"

case 2) when user search "UP"  
O/p: "India/Up"

case3) when user search "Delhi"  
O/p: "India/Delhi/NewDelhi"

case4) when user search "U"  
O/p: "India/Delhi/Gur **u** gram"  
"India/ **U** p"

Is there any query that fulfill my requirement
