Question

Hi,
I am using Azure Search on document containing title and content, which is long text.
I would like to add suggestions to help user to complete terms; when user starts to type some search, suggestions will provide the list of words that match its search.
Do I need to build a special index with the list of words of my document, or are there any built-in feature in Azure Search ? I have tried to implement this case with suggestions, but i can only get the content or title property of my document, not the term matched.
Thanks for any help,

Hello,
Thank you for using Azure Search. Our Suggestions API is meant to be used for finding target documents when given a partial input to a field and returns a list of matched fields with corresponding document ids. The API is not suitable for auto-completing a partial input whose response is to be used for a search after. For the latter, we currently do not have a built-in solution and recommend creating a special index for typeahead currently.
It's a feature that's been asked frequently and we are looking into various options to add it. You can use our Uservoice channel to add and/or help us prioritize: https://feedback.azure.com/forums/263029-azure-search/category/86072-query-search
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Hello Nate,
Thank you for your reply, I will implement it on my own.
I did not found any Uservoice entry about this feature, is there any ?
