I'm using Elasticsearch Phrase Suggester for correcting user's misspellings. everything is working as I expected unless user enters a query which it's first letter is misspelled. At this situation phrase suggester returns nothing or returns unexpected results.
My query for suggestion:
> {
> "suggest": {
> "text": "user\_query",
> "simple\_phrase": {
> "phrase": {
> "field": "title.phrase",,
> "collate": {
> "query": {
> "inlile" : {
> "bool": {
> "should": [
> { "match": {"title": "{{suggestion}}"}},
> { "match": {"participants": "{{suggestion}}"}}
> ]
> }
> }
> }
> }
> }
> }
Example when first letter is misspelled:
> "simple\_phrase" : [
> {
> "text" : "گاشانچی",
> "offset" : 0,
> "length" : 11,
> "options" : [ {
> "text" : "گارانتی",
> "score" : 0.00253151
> }]
> }
> ]
Example when fifth letter is misspelled:
> "simple\_phrase" : [
> {
> "text" : "کاشاوچی",
> "offset" : 0,
> "length" : 11,
> "options" : [ {
> "text" : "کاشانچی",
> "score" : 0.1121
> },
> {
> "text" : "کاشانجی",
> "score" : 0.0021
> },
> {
> "text" : "کاشنچی",
> "score" : 0.0020
> }]
> }
> ]
I expect that these two misspelled queries have same suggestions(my expected suggestions are second one). what is wrong?
P.S: I'm using this feature for Persian language.
