Elasticsearch 7 and Elastic Stack - In Depth and Hands On! - N-Grams - Part 1

The video tutorial explains the concept of ngrams and their application in search systems, particularly in Elasticsearch. It covers the creation of unigrams, bigrams, and trigrams, and introduces edge ngrams for efficient prefix matching. The tutorial also guides on setting up a custom analyzer in Elasticsearch for autocomplete functionality and discusses the use of different analyzers for indexing and querying. Finally, it introduces completion suggestions for enhanced control over autocomplete processes.

What is the primary advantage of using ngrams in search systems?

• They reduce the size of the index.

• They make prefix matching more efficient.

• They eliminate the need for a database.

• They increase the speed of data retrieval.

Which of the following is NOT a type of ngram?

• Bigram

• Unigram

• Pentagram

• Trigram

How do edge ngrams differ from regular ngrams?

• They are used for sorting data.

• They focus on the end of words.

• They only compute ngrams at the beginning of words.

• They are used for compressing data.

What is the first step in setting up autocomplete in Elasticsearch?

• Creating a custom analyzer.

• Indexing the data.

• Setting up a query analyzer.

• Configuring the server.

What is the purpose of setting a minimum and maximum ngram length in a custom analyzer?

• To ensure data consistency.

• To limit the number of search results.

• To control the size of the index.

• To define the range of ngram sizes for indexing.

Why is it important to use different analyzers for indexing and querying?

• To increase the number of search results.

• To ensure data is encrypted.

• To match query terms with indexed ngrams.

• To reduce server load.

What is a key benefit of using completion suggestions in Elasticsearch?

• They provide complete control over autocomplete functionality.

• They increase the speed of data processing.

• They reduce the need for manual indexing.

• They allow for real-time data updates.
