Hi all - I am trying to use completion suggest with fuzziness=2 and for some reason I am not able to get the text when the query string differs even slight from the original string. Here is a snippet of my request string: _"completionSuggestionFuzzyIdPrefix" : { "text" : "Jack Smmth", "completion" : { "field" : "fullNameSuggest", "fuzzy" : { "edit\_distance" : 2 } }_ I have the value in completion suggest field as "Jack Smith" and hence I am hoping the above request to return me the fuzzy match 'Jack Smith'. Here is my mapping: _"fullNameSuggest": { "type" : "completion", "index\_analyzer" : "simple", "search\_analyzer" : "simple", "payloads": true }_ Any clue what might be going wrong here? -Amit. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
