Hi Colin,  
Am facing different problem like, if am entering text a/c b am getting only one record as response. But actually with that prefix two documents are there...

Example :  
"A/C Bypass pulley"  
"A/C Bypass pulley(Belts)"

My Query is:

GET pdlfull/pdlfull\_type/\_search  
{  
"query": {  
"match\_phrase\_prefix": {  
"description":"a/c b"

```
}

```

},  
"sort":  
{  
"description.sort\_field"  
{  
"order":"asc"  
}  
}  
}  
I have deleted the index and again gave the settings and mappings then indexed the data, only for this case( a/c b) am facing this problem..  
Can you please guide me regarding this issue....
