Hi, I was playing around a bit with the suggest api as well as with mlt and flt. What I was wondering: the docs for mlt states that in order to use the mlt feature a mlt\_field needs to be either be stored, store term\_vector or source needs to be enabled. I couldnt find a note like this for suggest, but my tests show that it is still needed. Am I wrong? Could you add a line of clarification about mapping in the docs? Thanks!
