Thanks Itamar, actually, I'm planning the place hierarchy search to be part of a simple Search API, rather than only front-end functionality (such as autocompletion).
Users would seldom type all those words to search for a place, but all those ways to express place hierarchy that I wrote before in this thread, could be frequently found in digital newspaper, articles, and text in general. I'd like to support them all. Do you think for my Search API I could stick making requests to the _suggest endpoint instead of to _search? In my (short) experience with the completion suggester, I've seen lack of flexibility for relevance. For instance, if fuzzy is enabled, I wasn't able to give a higher score to exact matches than to fuzzy matches. I can do so by using the _search endpoint, though. 2014-08-28 14:32 GMT-05:00 Itamar Syn-Hershko <[email protected]>: > Take a look at suggesters - they are meant for that plus they are more > performant! http://www.elasticsearch.org/blog/you-complete-me/ > > -- > > Itamar Syn-Hershko > http://code972.com | @synhershko <https://twitter.com/synhershko> > Freelance Developer & Consultant > Author of RavenDB in Action <http://manning.com/synhershko/> > > > On Thu, Aug 28, 2014 at 10:22 PM, Germán Carrillo < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> The use case I'm addressing right now is searching place hierarchies >> (that could include place types as well).
