Hello,
is it correct that Term Suggester is what is closes to Google style
autocompletion?
If so, how do you use the term suggester?
Unfortunately, I can't find any examples in the ES documentation.

Hey,
the term suggester takes a query like "search is awesome" and returns
suggestions for each of the terms, so three different suggestions are
returned here. You maybe want to take a look at the completion suggester,

Hi Alex,
thanks for the clarification about the term suggester.
That leaves either the phrase suggester or autocomplete suggester.
The field I want to find suggestions for usually has a lot of words.
So I'd prefer to complete only the current word, not the whole content of
the field.
Is this possible with the autocomplete suggester?
Which analyzers are best suited for this use case?
