This tutorial will walk through building a demo which uses Elasticsearch to do word-by-word completion. The demo is a single-dependency Go app with a minimal UI. If you mostly care about the Elasticsearch usage, see the "overview" and "backend - next word search" sections. The final code is available at this Github repo

This is a pretty detailed tutorial, probably oriented towards Elasticsearch and Go beginners, with full working code blocks. It's also my first tutorial-like blog post -- if you have any feedback, feel free to open an issue on the repo!

What is "autocomplete word-by-word"?​

This is kind of like a "Top 10 libraries java developers should know" blog post, but more focused specifically on features (not just libraries) that could apply to any Java codebase. I find myself using these things in tiny personal Java projects as well as large, shared codebases. I primarily work in Java 8 and use IntelliJ. The credit for some of these go to my teammates. If you're a teammate and see this and would like credit, let me know!
