title: Supporting typeahead autocomplete with ElasticSearch
body: <p>Is there a standard way to implement character-by-character typeahead autocomplete using ElasticSearch for small fields (e.g. place names).</p>
  
  <p>(At the time of writing this, there are a number of discussions available via search, but nothing that seems definitive. (Also, I see there is talk of the effect of feature support for autocomplete/suggest in Apache Lucene 4.))</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for thoughts.</p>
