Hey there,

I've been using controls for my kibana 7.14 dashboard.  
I'm wondering if there is a way to tweak the autocompleteTerminateAfter, like an "autocompleteTerminateBefore" ? Let me explain:

My documents look like this:

```auto
{
    type: "a"
}

```

For years I've stored documents of type a an b. Only recently type c documents appeared. Even setting autocompleteTerminateAfter to 10000000 does not reach records with type c, so c does not appear in my control.

Searching with descending order, i'd have my 3 types within a few hundred records... does anybody know a way to achieve something similar ?

I tried my best to explain my point, if anything is not clear tell me !

Looks like you asked this question twice, [Reverse the autocompleteTerminateAfter parameter?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/reverse-the-autocompleteterminateafter-parameter/283045). Please refrain from asking the same question multiple times and provide some time for the opportunity to answer.
