Its an analyzer problem, certainly. You've turned off analyzers with
"index":"not_analazyed". What you probably want is for the gene_short_name
to be analyzed so that dashes are considered "word separators". If you do
that you can find linc-ZNF6092-6 by performing a simple_query_string (or
match) search for <code>ZNF6092</code> or <code>ZNF6092 6</code> or
<code>6</code> or <code>linc</code>. Have a look at
http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/analysis-pattern-tokenizer.html
and go from there. You may also want to use a lowercase filter so you can
search for <code>znf6092</code> and still find it.
This is a good read on how to change the mapping as well:
http://www.elasticsearch.org/blog/changing-mapping-with-zero-downtime/
even if you don't need all the information in there it is nice to know.
