I have my indices created, and mapping type for my 'suggest' field set to completion. I can't figure out how to configure the query for completion suggestions in elastic-search (Java API). I'm trying to use this Query to base my implementation off of. "song-suggest" : { "text" : "n", "completion" : { "field" : "suggest" } } Here's what I have so far, ``` CompletionSuggestionBuilder compBuilder = new CompletionSuggestionBuilder("complete"); compBuilder.text("n.."); compBuilder.field("suggest"); SearchResponse searchResponse = localClient.prepareSearch(INDEX_NAME) .setTypes("completion") .setQuery(QueryBuilders.matchAllQuery()) .addSuggestion(compBuilder) .execute().actionGet(); CompletionSuggestion compSuggestion = searchResponse.getSuggest().getSuggestion("complete"); ``` Am I missing something, doing something wrong?

Hey, looks ok. Minor note: Types are simply ignored for suggestions. What are you getting back? Nothing? Can you create a fully working gist, including creation of the mapping and indexing? Then debugging and finding your possible cause would be a lot easier. --Alex On Fri, Apr 4, 2014 at 4:02 PM, Bill Wortinger [r3dreign@gmail.com](mailto:r3dreign@gmail.com) wrote: > I have my indices created, and mapping type for my 'suggest' field set to > completion.

Great resource! Thank you, _CompletionSuggestionBuilder compBuilder = new CompletionSuggestionBuilder("completion"); compBuilder.text(suggestion); compBuilder.field("suggest"); SuggestRequestBuilder suggestRequestBuilder = localClient.prepareSuggest(INDEX\_NAME) .addSuggestion(compBuilder); SuggestResponse suggestResponse = suggestRequestBuilder.execute().actionGet();_ When executing _Suggest.Suggestion.Entry.Option option2 = suggestResponse.getSuggest().getSuggestion("completion").getEntries().get(0).getOptions().get(0);_ A null is returned. Below is my index. _.startObject("suggest").field("type", "completion").endObject()_ Thanks again!

This looks wrong, _Suggest.Suggestion.Entry.Option option2 = suggestResponse.getSuggest().getSuggestion("completion").getEntries().get(0).getOptions().get(0);_ it should be: \*Suggest.Suggestion.Entry.Option option2 = \* _suggestResponse.getSuggest().getSuggestion("suggest").getEntries().get(0).getOptions().get(0);_ Where _getSuggestion_ is getting the field name you supplied in the request.

Hello Dan, thanks again for all the help but I can't seem to get anything to return. Here is my full code, there has to be something I'm missing. Maybe in the indexing, the mapping? Mapping: putMappingResponse = new PutMappingRequestBuilder(newClient .admin().indices()) .setIndices(INDEX\_NAME) .setType(INDEX\_TYPE) .setSource(jsonBuilder().startObject("suggest") .field("type", "completion") .endObject().execute().actionGet()); Method: public String searchSuggestions(String suggestion) { // Creates suggestions based on Document Titles. String toReturn = ""; Client localClient = getElasticSearchClient(); CompletionSuggestionBuilder compBuilder = new CompletionSuggestionBuilder("completion"); compBuilder.text(suggestion); compBuilder.field("suggest"); SuggestRequestBuilder suggestRequestBuilder = localClient .prepareSuggest(INDEX\_NAME).addSuggestion(compBuilder); SuggestResponse suggestResponse = suggestRequestBuilder.execute().actionGet(); CompletionSuggestion compSuggestion = suggestResponse.getSuggest().getSuggestion("completion"); List\ entryList = compSuggestion.getEntries(); if (entryList != null) { CompletionSuggestion.Entry entry = entryList.get(0); List\ options = entry.getOptions(); if (options != null) { CompletionSuggestion.Entry.Option option = options.get(0); toReturn = option.getText().string(); } } return toReturn; } Index: response = localClient.prepareIndex(INDEX\_NAME, INDEX\_TYPE) .setSource(jsonBuilder().startObject("suggest").field("input","FooFighters").endObject()).execute().actionGet(); Thanks for all the help, I'm basically shooting in the dark hoping somebody with more experience can spot the issue.

Hey Dan! Thanks for the code snippet, it's actually helped me narrow down my problem considerably. I'm getting the error; field 'suggest' is not a completion suggest field. To my knowledge, you define it as a completion suggest field with the type in the mapping. .field("suggest").startObject().field("type", "completion").endObject() Thanks!

You're missing the index 'type' and 'properties' objects from the index mapping. Change it to: new PutMappingRequestBuilder(newClient .admin().indices()) .setIndices(INDEX\_NAME) .setType(INDEX\_TYPE) .setSource(jsonBuilder().startObject(INDEX\_TYPE) .startObject("properties") .startObject("suggest") .field("type", "completion") .endObject() .endObject() .endObject().execute().actionGet()); Which will create the JSON: { "test": { "properties": { "suggest": { "type": "completion" } } } } Dan On Tuesday, April 15, 2014 2:31:01 PM UTC+1, Bill Wortinger wrote: > Hey Dan! > > Thanks for the code snippet, it's actually helped me narrow down my > problem considerably.
