The blog post introduces the completion suggester feature in Elasticsearch, designed to enhance search experiences by providing real-time, "while-you-type" suggestions. This feature aims to improve user satisfaction and reduce server load by offering relevant search phrases before a search is fully executed. Unlike existing methods such as prefix queries and ngrams, the completion suggester uses an in-memory data structure called a finite state transducer (FST) for rapid suggestion retrieval, enabling it to provide suggestions within milliseconds. The feature is scalable, customizable in terms of suggestion ordering, and allows for integration with synonyms and stopwords. Although marked experimental, it promises improved user experience and conversion rates with proper maintenance and tuning. Future enhancements include fuzzy matching, improved stopword support, memory usage statistics, and highlighting capabilities.
