I've been trying to get the phrase suggester up and running, but something is wrong. I don't get any results. The search query looks like this: { "suggest": { "text": "schoko", "simple\_phrase": { "phrase": { "analyzer": "simple", "field": "title", "size": 4, "real\_word\_error\_likelihood": 0.95, "confidence": 2, "gram\_size": 1, "direct\_generator": [ { "field": "title", "suggest\_mode": "always", "min\_word\_len": 1 } ] } } } } The type mapping looks like this: { "products": { "properties": { "message": { "type": "string" }, "image": { "type": "string" }, "price": { "type": "string" }, "source": { "type": "string" }, "title": { "type": "multi\_field", "fields": { "title": { "type": "string" }, "suggest": { "type": "string", "analyzer": "shingle\_analyzer", "store": true, "term\_vector": "with\_positions\_offsets" } } }, "@timestamp": { "type": "date", "format": "dateOptionalTime" }, "@version": { "type": "string" }, "deeplink": { "type": "string" }, "host": { "type": "string" }, "logstash\_checksum": { "type": "string" }, "path": { "type": "string" } } } } And index settings look like this: { "settings": { "analysis": { "filter": { "shingle\_filter": { "type": "shingle", "min\_shingle\_size": 2, "max\_shingle\_size": 5 } }, "analyzer": { "shingle\_analyzer": { "type": "custom", "tokenizer": "standard", "filter": [ "lowercase", "shingle\_filter" ] } } } } } Any ideas on what's wrong? I'd be really grateful for any hints! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

I've now tried to setup a Play Gist showing the problems: [https://www.found.no/play/gist/3fd142f32eb42cb0730d](https://www.found.no/play/gist/3fd142f32eb42cb0730d) When I search for "schwar" I get the suggestion "schwarz" as expected. However, if I search for "iP" I don't get any suggestions. I'd want ES to suggest "iPad" and "iPhone" in this case. How can this be achieved? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Try setting max\_term\_freq to .99, prefix\_length to 1, and confidence to 0. See what that gives you.

Thanks for your suggestion. I've tried it immediately, but the only suggestion I get is "ip". Am Montag, 23.

I've experimented with a method suggested by a website: query: prefix: title.title\_shingle: value: ip facets: suggestion: terms: field: title.title\_shingle regex: ^ip.\* size: 10 The result looks good, but the website also mentions the performance isn't good with big indexes. So I'm still looking for an alternative. Am Montag, 23. Juni 2014 16:19:37 UTC+2 schrieb Nikolas Everett: > Huh.
