Problem/Motivation

Recently I have added this module to our project in order to add auto-completion on our Elastic search results.
The module itself seems to work very well.
However the search results are now being sorted in a different way and because of that less relevant search results are on top.

For example, if I search for "Example", I expect a node named "Example" to be the first result, especially since I have boosted the title quite heavy. Previously this was indeed the case; now this node isn't even to be found on the first page of results.

I did find this question and answers about the same scenario: https://discuss.elastic.co/t/edge-ngram-returns-irrelevant-result/17226/3
However, I do not know how that solution should be implemented in Drupal.

Do you know if this is fixable by Search API configuration, or do I need to write a module to fix it (by changing the search query manually I guess?).

Proposed resolution

Add documentation about how to implement this module correctly.
