And I'm testing with the following search:

curl -XGET "localhost:9200/geonames2/geoname/\_search" -d '  
{  
"query": {  
"term": {  
_"name.autocomplete": "las"_  
}  
},  
"facets": {  
"name": {  
"terms": {  
"field": "name"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
'

And everything works fine, as expected, ES returns the documents

But I need a configuration, to work with white spaces("Las Pal" ), capital  
letters ("Las") and accents("Juá"), something like this:

_"name.autocomplete": "Las"_

and this:

_"name.autocomplete": "Las Pal"_

and this:

"name.autocomplete": "Juá"

as in the following examples:

curl -XGET "localhost:9200/geonames2/geoname/\_search" -d '  
{  
"query": {  
"term": {  
"name.autocomplete": "Las Pal"  
}  
},  
"facets": {  
"name": {  
"terms": {  
"field": "name"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
'

Can someone please help me?

Thanks for your attention
