I am new to elastic search and want to have a search field in my  
application using which I would want to search all the documents of  
elasticsearch whereever they appear.  
I also want to show the related search terms as dropdown (like google  
search box). It helps user choose the correct search term.

All fields (actually majority fields) needs to be searched.

I read about "suggestion" functionality. But what I understand is that  
while indexing, I would have to create a pseudo field from which  
suggestions are served. I feel my usecase cannot be solved using the  
suggestion functionality.

Can someone suggest, me some way of achieving this with elastic search.
