Hi all,
I try to put an auto completion system based on ES.
This article [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/blog/you-complete-me/) helps me a
lot, but I don't understand a case:
PUT /hotels
> {
>
> "mappings": {
>
> ```
> "hotel" : {
>
> "properties" : {
>
> "name_suggest" : {
>
> "type" : "completion"
>
> }
>
> }
>
> }
>
> ```
>
> }
>
> }
PUT /hotels/hotel/1
> {
>
> "name\_suggest" : {
>
> ```
> "input" : [
>
> "21 Mercure Hotel Munich",
>
> "24 Mercure Munich"
>
> ]
>
> ```
>
> > }
>
> }
>
> > PUT hotels/hotel/2
>
> {
>
> "name\_suggest" : {
>
> ```
> "input" : [
>
> "Monaco Munich",
>
> "Hotel Monaco"
>
> ]
>
> ```
>
> }
>
> }
When i post :
POST /hotels/\_suggest
{
"hotels" : {
"text" : "m",
"completion" : {
"field" : "name\_suggest"
}
}
}
The result is 3 hotels : "21 Mercure Hotel Munich","24 Mercure
Munich", "Monaco Munich".
But when i post this request:
> POST /hotels/\_suggest
>
> {
>
> "hotels" : {
>
> ```
> "text" : "2",
>
> "completion" : {
>
> "field" : "name_suggest"
>
> }
>
> ```
>
> }
>
> }
There is no result ...
Any Idea ?

You are probably using an analyzer that removes numbers?

Mapping is very basic. There are no analyzers.

Completion fields use the `simple` analyzer by default, which removes
numbers. If you try another analyzer that keeps numbers such as the
standard analyzer, this should work:
PUT /hotels
{
"mappings": {
"hotel" : {
"properties" : {
"name" : { "type" : "string" },
"city" : { "type" : "string" },
"name\_suggest" : {
"type" : "completion",
"analyzer": "standard"
}
}
}
}
}

You're right, it works by changing the analyzer.
Now evolving issues, I customize the analyzer

PUT /hotels/hotel/1
{
"name": "Mercure Hotel Munich",
"city": "Munich",
"name\_suggest": {
```
"input": [
"Mercure Hotel Munich",
"Mercure Munich"
]
```
}
}
> PUT hotels/hotel/2
{
"name": "Hotel Monaco",
"city": "Munich",
"name\_suggest": {
```
"input": [
"Monaco Munich",
"Hotel Monaco"
]
```
}
}
> PUT /hotels/hotel/3
{
"name": "Courtyard by Marriot Munich City",
"city": "Munich",
"name\_suggest": {
```
"input": [
"Courtyard by Marriot Munich City",
"Marriot Munich City"
]
```
}
}
If i check the analyser, I get the result I want. That is, if I type "mun",
the tokenizer gets me a right token
GET /hotels/\_analyze?analyzer=labelstreet\_analyzer&text=Munich
>
Yet when I execute this query, the result is null
POST /hotels/\_suggest
> {

> "hotels" : {
>
> ```
> "text" : "mun",
>
> "completion" : {
>
> "field" : "name_suggest"
>
> }
>
> ```
>
> }
>
> }
Why the result with "mun" is not displayed ?
Thanks for your help

#### Post date: [October 16, 2014, 1:31am UTC](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/question-about-completion-in-es/20220/6 "2014-10-16T01:31:42Z")
Hi Franck,
There are two issues here. First the completion suggester is not based on
n-grams but on a FST, so you should not use a n-gram tokenizer. Another
thing to know is that the completion suggester is a prefix suggester, not
an infix suggester, meaning that it can only suggest from the beginning of
the input, yet you don't have any input that starts with "Munich". The only
way to make it recommend hotels based in Munich would be to add more inputs
to your documents that start with "Munich".
