Hi group, I have a special problem which I'm trying to solve.  
I need search suggestions while typing text into a search box.  
I tried different settings and options with ES, including term suggester,  
completion suggester and so on, but no success.

What I'm looking for is if I type in a search and I have already typed  
"dan" that I get suggestions like:  
{

- responseHeader:  
{
  - status: 0,
  - QTime: 11  
},

- spellcheck:  
{
  - 
## suggestions: [
[  
- "dan",  
-  
{  
- numFound: 9,  
- startOffset: 0,  
- endOffset: 3,  
- suggestion:  
[  
- "dana",  
- "danach",  
- "danckert",  
- "dando",  
- "danger",  
- "dangos",  
- "danguolė",  
- "daniel",  
- "danish"  
]  
}  
]  
]  
}

}

So just the suggestions in alphabetical order from the index.  
The above example is from SOLR but I need this feature for ES.  
Any idea how to achive this?

Regards, Bernd
