    Description

      Our current suggester impls do prefix matching of the incoming text
      against all compiled suggestions, but in some cases it's useful to
      allow infix matching. E.g, Netflix does infix suggestions in their
      search box.

      I did a straightforward impl, just using a normal Lucene index, and
      using PostingsHighlighter to highlight matching tokens in the
      suggestions.

      I think this likely only works well when your suggestions have a
      strong prior ranking (weight input to build), eg Netflix knows
      the popularity of movies.
