Erik,
Thank you! Yes, that's exactly how we were thinking of architecting it. And our
ML engineer suggested something else for the suggestion weights, actually -- to
build a model that would programmatically update the weights based on those
suggestions' live clicks @ position k, etc. Pretty cool idea...

It's a great idea. And then index that file into a separate lean
collection of just the suggestions, along with the weight as another field on
those documents, to use for ranking them at query time with standard /select
queries. (this separate suggest collection would also have appropriate
tokenization to match the partial words as the user types, like ngramming)

over an external dictionary file? We have lots of "top queries" and measure
their nDCG. A thought was to programmatically generate an external file where
the weight per query term (or phrase) == its nDCG. Bad idea?
