I would like to know if there is a way to give some weights on documents like I can do for the complete suggestions.

Lets say I index two documents:

```
Gerogia
Germany

```

I will use the `edge_ngram tokenizer` to search in autocomplete mode. So If I search for `Ger` I will get both of the documents but `Germany` with a higher ranking.

Is there a way to do that?
