Agent search in search-ws

Searching for agent names is tricky & may require some experimentation. We don't specify an arrangement for parts of names in displayName; these could be in reverse order such as "Smith, Michael" or in forward order such as "Michael Smith" because they are produced by the client. So, edgeNGram of various lengths are not always useful for this attribute if they've been analyzed with side = "front". But, they are useful for familyNames and givenNames. Here's an alternative:

{
  "query": {
    "multi_match": {
       "query": "<string-to-auto-complete>",
       "type": "cross_fields",
       "fields": ["familyNames^5", "givenNames^3", "displayName", "aliases"]
      }
   }
}

Note that I'm using a type cross_fields and I'm boosting familyNames and givenNames over the others.
