It's very common for users to commit typing errors or to require suggestions for the words they are writing. These issues are solved by ElasticSearch with the suggest functionality.
You need a working ElasticSearch cluster and an index populated with the script chapter_05/populate_query.sh, available in the code bundle for this book.
In order to suggest relevant terms by query, perform the following steps:
From the command line, execute a
suggestcall:curl -XGET 'http://127.0.0.1:9200/test-index/_suggest?pretty=true' -d ' { "suggest1" : { "text" : "we find tester", "term" : { "field" : "parsedtext" } } }'
This result will be returned by ElasticSearch if everything works all right:
{ "_shards": { "failed": 0, "successful": 5, "total": 5 }, "suggest1": [ { "length": 2, "offset": 0, "options": [], "text": "we" }, { "length": 4, "offset": 3, ...
