Hi.

I have a small index of about 4000 documents. Each document has a field 
called suggestion_name which is the title of the document. Here is what the 
relevant part of our mapping looks like: 

  MAPPING = {
    :properties => {
      :id => { :type => 'string' },
      :name => { :type => 'string', :analyzer => :snowball_name, boost: 1.5 },
      :suggestion_name => { :type => 'string', :index => 'not_analyzed' },

 I want to be able to provide our users a really solid "Did you mean" 
feature. I am using these phrase suggestion settings currently:

def self.suggest_phrase(query_string)
    self.suggest( :index => "special_topics", :body => {
      :text => query_string,
      :simple_phrase => {
        :phrase => {
          :field => "suggestion_name",
          :size => 1,
          :real_word_error_likelihood => 0.95,
          :max_errors => 50,
          :gram_size => 2,
          :direct_generator => [{
            :field => "suggestion_name",
            :suggest_mode => "always",
            :min_word_length => 1
          }]
        }
      }
    })
  end


But this is less than ideal. For example, a document has the title "Sports 
Massage Extreme". Mis-spelling like this work : "sports massag extreme" & "
sprts massag extreme". But the moment I try something like this: "sprts 
massag extreeme" it fails. I have tried many, many ways to tweak the 
various knobs for the phrase suggestion but nothing seems to do the trick. 
I have tried removing the "gram_size" param completely, adjusting the 
"max_errors" params, etc.  I have tried tweaking the direct_generator 
various ways like increasing the "size" to 10. Nothing! What am I not 
looking at?

Thanks much!
