You need to format your data according to what the bulk operation expects, i.e. one line for the "index" action and another line with the JSON source all separated by new line characters (including on the last line):

curl -XPOST localhost:9200/myindex/autocomplete/_bulk -d '
{ "index":{"_id": 1} }
{ "name": "Nevermind",  "suggest": { "input": [ "Nevermind" ], "output": "Nirvana - Nevermind", "payload": {  "tip": 1, "oid": 1 }, "weight": 34 } }
{ "index":{"_id": 2} }
{ "name": "Bleach",  "suggest": { "input": [ "Bleach" ], "output": "Nirvana - Bleach", "payload": {  "tip": 2, "oid": 3 }, "weight": 20 } }
