Searching on list in a document using highlight

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi all,

I am applying the prefix query on list field and using highlight query to see the matched result but it is giving first five matches. But according to requirement i want last entries in best match as my use case is to suggest search from your recent searched strings. Please suggest.

Try change the number_of_fragments setting

But list count cannot be assumed, it is increasing day by day. Also, it is not good in performance also.

Unbounded growth of a document is not a good strategy.
Indices are designed to scale but not individual docs.
I suggest you either:

  1. Cap the number of recent searches you keep in a user profile doc or
  2. Have one doc per search saved then use sort in your query requests to get the last N
