I need to create a Search Suggester on text and return an object with bunch  
of fields.

The object contains the following fields:  
userId, name, x,y,z,a,b,c

_Search needs to be done only on 2 fields - Name & Text._

I also need to return the Object(with fields) if the docId is explicitly  
requested.  
curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/1](http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/1)'

_Question_ : Should everything in the Object (that needs to be returned) go  
in the payload only \*(Option 2) \*or payload+regular fields _(Option 1)_ ?

\*Option 1: \*  
json = {  
"suggest" : {  
"input": ["US"],  
"output": "US",

- 

```
     "payload" : {*
            *"userId" : "OID123", "name" : "US", "text" : 

```

"California", ... \< list of fields\>\*

- 

```
       }*
  }

```

}

\*Option 2: \*  
json = {  
_"userId" : "OID123", "name" : "US", "text" : "California", ... \<  
list of fields\>_  
"suggest" : {  
"input": ["abc"],  
"output": "abc",

- 

```
     "payload" : {*
            *"userId" : "OID123", "name" : "US", "text" : 

```

"California", ... \< list of fields\>\*

- 

```
       }*
  }

```

}
