Retrieve suggested values for searches on a given field

get/search/suggestions

Internal-Use Only

Get search suggestions for a given field in one or more of the indices provided. Suggestions are only available for fields with a keyword representation or both a text and keyword representation. Any other representations are not supported, and an error will be returned. The suggested values will be unique, and the most common values in the given field in the indices provided. Optionally a parameter q can be provided that acts as a prefix requirement for the values. This endpoint does not support the usual start parameter; pagination is not supported. The limit parameter serves to restrict the number of suggestions that are returned.
