Hi, I'm trying to create a typeahead where people get autocomplete using text from a child but returning a parent. The idea is that all the variations of parent are stored in child documents, but when a user searches we only show the parent. I have it working at the moment using a has\_child search but wanted to know if there was a way to use the completion suggester & has\_child for a better user experience. for example: parent: "New York: child: "New York City" child: "Buffalo" someone types "buff" they get "New York" returned. Does that make sense??? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
