Hi,

I am using match phrase prefix for auto suggestion for \_all  
Eg: I do have entries in my type such as "PIPE","TUBE PIPE"  
and when I am doing search using "PIPE" both are resulting but "TUBE PIPE" is getting highest score and resulting on top  
I am expecting PIPE to come first

Below are the settings for my index

"settings" : {  
"index" : {  
"analysis" : {  
"filter" : {  
"nGram\_filter" : {  
"token\_chars" : ["letter", "digit", "punctuation"],  
"min\_gram" : "1",  
"type" : "nGram",  
"max\_gram" : "20"  
}  
},  
"analyzer" : {  
"desc\_analyzer" : {  
"type" : "custom",  
"filter" : ["lowercase", "asciifolding", "nGram\_filter"],  
"tokenizer" : "keyword"  
},  
"nGram\_analyzer" : {  
"filter" : ["lowercase", "asciifolding", "nGram\_filter"],  
"type" : "custom",  
"tokenizer" : "whitespace"  
}  
}  
}

query:

"query": {  
"match\_phrase\_prefix": {  
"\_all": {  
"query": "PIPE",  
"analyzer" : "standard"  
}  
}  
}

Could you please suggest on this.

Thanks,  
Rajesh
