Elasticsearch Indexing

Get suggestions

If we would like to find documents that have directors starting with tar, we would run the following command:

curl -XGET localhost:9200/imdb/_suggest?pretty -d '{
 "directorAutocomplete": {
  "text": "tar",
  "completion": {
   "field": "completion_suggest"
  }
 }
}'

The result returned by Elasticsearch for the preceding query looks as follows:

{
   "_shards": {
      "total": 5,
      "successful": 5,
      "failed": 0
   },
   "directorAutocomplete": [
      {
         "text": "tar",
         "offset": 0,
         "length": 3,
         "options": [
            {
               "text": "Andrei Arsenyevich Tarkovsky",
               "score": 1,
               "payload": {
                  "movies": [
                     "Ivan's Childhood",
                     "Andrei Rublev",
                     "Solaris",
                     "The Mirror",
                     "Stalker",
                     "Nostalgia",
                     "The Sacrifice"
                  ]
               }
            }
         ]
      }
   ]
}
