Hi,  
I have created mapping for my index using dynamic template. Here goes my mapping  
{  
"testpis": {  
"mappings": {  
"product": {  
"\_all": {  
"enabled": false  
},  
"dynamic\_templates": [{  
"productname": {  
"match": "Product Name",  
"mapping": {  
"analyzer": "trigram",  
"type": "text"  
}  
}  
}, {  
"category": {  
"match": "Category",  
"mapping": {  
"analyzer": "trigram",  
"type": "text"  
}  
}  
}],  
"properties": {  
"data": {  
"properties": {  
"Brand": {  
"type": "text",  
"fields": {  
"keyword": {  
"type": "keyword",  
"ignore\_above": 256  
}  
}  
},  
"Category": {  
"type": "text",  
"analyzer": "trigram"  
},  
"Product Name": {  
"type": "text",  
"analyzer": "trigram"  
},  
"UPC/Bar code": {  
"type": "text",  
"fields": {  
"keyword": {  
"type": "keyword",  
"ignore\_above": 256  
}  
}  
}  
}  
},  
"name": {  
"type": "text",  
"fields": {  
"keyword": {  
"type": "keyword",  
"ignore\_above": 256  
}  
}  
}  
}  
},  
"_default_": {  
"\_all": {  
"enabled": false  
},  
"dynamic\_templates": [{  
"productname": {  
"match": "Product Name",  
"mapping": {  
"analyzer": "trigram",  
"type": "text"  
}  
}  
}, {  
"category": {  
"match": "Category",  
"mapping": {  
"analyzer": "trigram",  
"type": "text"  
}  
}  
}]  
}  
}  
}  
}

Now I am trying to use phrase suggester which looks like

searchRequestBuilder :: {  
"suggest" : {  
"sample\_suggest" : {  
"text" : "DEO",  
"phrase" : {  
"field" : "data.Category",  
"size" : 5,  
"real\_word\_error\_likelihood" : 0.95,  
"confidence" : 1.0,  
"separator" : " ",  
"max\_errors" : 0.5,  
"gram\_size" : 3,  
"force\_unigrams" : true,  
"token\_limit" : 10,  
"direct\_generator" : [  
{  
"field" : "data.Category",  
"suggest\_mode" : "always"  
}  
],  
"highlight" : {  
"pre\_tag" : "_",  
"post\_tag" : "\</em"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}_

This is the code

PhraseSuggestionBuilder suggestion = new PhraseSuggestionBuilder("data.Category");  
suggestion.highlight("_", "_");  
suggestion.text("INSTANT MIX");  
suggestion.gramSize(2);  
suggestion.size(5);

```
		CandidateGenerator generator;
		DirectCandidateGeneratorBuilder directCandidateGeneratorBuilder = new DirectCandidateGeneratorBuilder("data.Category");
		directCandidateGeneratorBuilder.suggestMode("always");
		suggestion.addCandidateGenerator(directCandidateGeneratorBuilder);
		suggestBuilder.addSuggestion("sample_suggest", suggestion);

```

I am not getting any results. Can anyone tell me what is the problem? will dynamic template cause any problem in using suggester?
