I'm try to indexing a set of biological data. There are some fields like 'gene_id' or 'gene_shortname' that should be processed as literal strings. When I try to search for 'ZNF6092' in a field filled with 'linc-ZNF6092-6', I can't find anything. When I search for 'linc' I find correct document elsewhere. It seems that this is a problem with ES analyzer, but I tried to set it for do not analyze fields, but it seems that nothing changes. I try with: curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/a3' -d @tracking_map.json where tracking_map.json is {   "mappings": {     "tracking": {       "properties": {         "tracking_id" : {           "type": "string",           "index":"not_analyzed"         },         "nearest_ref_id" : {           "type": "string",           "index":"not_analyzed"         },         "gene_id" : {           "type": "string",           "index":"not_analyzed"         },         "gene_short_name" : {           "type": "string",           "index":"not_analyzed"         }       }     }   } } And then re-indexing of all documents. I failed, but where? Thanks in advance, Alessandro 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.

Very thanks for your answer, What I want is that ES store fields as literals, so I should find ZNF6092 with a wilcard search (*ZNF6092* for example). I tried set "pattern" to "*" for testing (* isn't in gene_shortname, so I suppose that entire string is stored. But anyway I still find nothing. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
