Hi all. On our project, we use elastic to search for products through the autocomplete function using something like this query

```auto
GET food/_search
{
  "suggest": {
    "autocomplete": {
      "prefix": "apple",
      "completion": {
        "field": "suggest",
        "fuzzy": {
          "fuzziness": 0
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

```

By this mapping:

````auto
```
PUT /food
{
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "suggest": {
          "type": "completion"
        }
     }
  }
}

````

We're having trouble adding stop words and excluding plurals from the search query. We tried to connect an analyzer with a stopword filter, but it did not work in our case. Please tell me if this is possible and in what direction we need to move
