SuggestCompletion doesn't allow specifying a size

[curtismbeard]

In using the SuggestCompletion, it at most only returns 5 options. There doesn't seem to be a way to specify a size to return back more or less options. Using a raw query to elasticsearch, specifying a size property as part of the completion property will give more/less results back (and this works when using the SearchRaw method and supplying the full suggest in json).

Please add the ability to specify the Size for the SuggestCompletion.

Got the same here.
Also it seems once you add a \ to your searchquery, this gives no results.

Thanks for investigating!

I looked over the ES documentation for Suggest API and and found no size property. This is a welcome feature although, it seems that Google for instance only returns 5 results.

@AnthonyClaeys You need to escape the "", like so:

query = query.Replace("/", "\\/");

Hey @bgiromini,

I checked my Query in Sense. The following works, so there must be a size property. Maybe its just not documented properly?

GET _suggest { "suggest" : { "text" : "automaa", "completion" : { "size" : 10, "field" : "suggestions" }}}

I opened a pull request and exposed the size property see pull request #490
