== Suggesters
|
|
|
|
The suggest feature suggests similar looking terms based on a provided
|
|
text by using a suggester. Parts of the suggest feature are still under
|
|
development.
|
|
|
|
The suggest request part is either defined alongside the query part in a
|
|
`_search` request or via the REST `_suggest` endpoint.
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
curl -s -XPOST 'localhost:9200/_search' -d '{
|
|
"query" : {
|
|
...
|
|
},
|
|
"suggest" : {
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
}'
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Suggest requests executed against the `_suggest` endpoint should omit
|
|
the surrounding `suggest` element which is only used if the suggest
|
|
request is part of a search.
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/_suggest' -d '{
|
|
"my-suggestion" : {
|
|
"text" : "the amsterdma meetpu",
|
|
"term" : {
|
|
"field" : "body"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}'
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Several suggestions can be specified per request. Each suggestion is
|
|
identified with an arbitrary name. In the example below two suggestions
|
|
are requested. Both `my-suggest-1` and `my-suggest-2` suggestions use
|
|
the `term` suggester, but have a different `text`.
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
"suggest" : {
|
|
"my-suggest-1" : {
|
|
"text" : "the amsterdma meetpu",
|
|
"term" : {
|
|
"field" : "body"
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
"my-suggest-2" : {
|
|
"text" : "the rottredam meetpu",
|
|
"term" : {
|
|
"field" : "title",
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The below suggest response example includes the suggestion response for
|
|
`my-suggest-1` and `my-suggest-2`. Each suggestion part contains
|
|
entries. Each entry is effectively a token from the suggest text and
|
|
contains the suggestion entry text, the original start offset and length
|
|
in the suggest text and if found an arbitrary number of options.
|
|
|
|

|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
{
|
|
...
|
|
"suggest": {
|
|
"my-suggest-1": [
|
|
{
|
|
"text" : "amsterdma",
|
|
"offset": 4,
|
|
"length": 9,
|
|
"options": [
|

"my-suggest-2" : [

...
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Each options array contains an option object that includes the
|
|
suggested text, its document frequency and score compared to the suggest
|
|
entry text. The meaning of the score depends on the used suggester. The
|
|
term suggester's score is based on the edit distance.

|
=== Global suggest text
|
|
|
|
To avoid repetition of the suggest text, it is possible to define a
|
|
global text. In the example below the suggest text is defined globally
|
|
and applies to the `my-suggest-1` and `my-suggest-2` suggestions.
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
"suggest" : {
|
|
"text" : "the amsterdma meetpu"
|
|
"my-suggest-1" : {
|
|
"term" : {
|
|
"field" : "title"
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
"my-suggest-2" : {
|
|
"term" : {
|
|
"field" : "body"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The suggest text can in the above example also be specified as
|
|
suggestion specific option. The suggest text specified on suggestion
|
|
level override the suggest text on the global level.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
=== Other suggest example.
|
|
|
|
In the below example we request suggestions for the following suggest
|
|
text: `devloping distibutd saerch engies` on the `title` field with a
|
|
maximum of 3 suggestions per term inside the suggest text. Note that in
|
|
this example we use the `count` search type. This isn't required, but a
|
|
nice optimization. The suggestions are gather in the `query` phase and
|
|
in the case that we only care about suggestions (so no hits) we don't
|
|
need to execute the `fetch` phase.
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
curl -s -XPOST 'localhost:9200/_search?search_type=count' -d '{
|
|
"suggest" : {
|
|
"my-title-suggestions-1" : {
|
|
"text" : "devloping distibutd saerch engies",
|
|
"term" : {
|
|
"size" : 3,
|
|
"field" : "title"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}'
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The above request could yield the response as stated in the code example
|
|
below. As you can see if we take the first suggested options of each
|
|
suggestion entry we get `developing distributed search engines` as
|
|
result.
