I want to search from Elastic Search with search box text value having Prefix and Suffix in .net C# using NEST. Suppose I search "apple" it give me output only "apple" and I want output like "apple", "apple mobile", "apple earphone", "apple iPhone 7" etc.

Also if I search "ppl" then also I want output like "apple", "apple mobile", "apple earphone", "apple iPhone 7" etc.
