Question about Phrase Suggester's prefix_len

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

According to
http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-suggesters-phrase.htmlraising
prefix_len should improve performance and lowering it will make
things slower. If I set it to 0, is that really going to kill
performance? I've got someone complaining that "chokolade" doesn't correct
to "schokolade". As a someone who's highschool German faded long ago from
my memory I'd pronounce both words the same way.

Nick I think you will suffer much from setting it to 0 but give it a try.
To do what you want to do have a second candidate generator that uses a
reverse filter with a reasonable prefix len?

I'm not sure I'll get a chance to work on this soon but I'll remember to
try the reverse filters when I can. Is the goal of the prefix len just to
cut down on the number of candidates or to improve the locality of lookups
in the term statistics? Actually, I imagine both.

Thanks!
