Hi

I have a question related to the special \_all field, the documentation [1]  
says that is possible to specify an analyzer to use for the \_all field, now  
let's say that I have few mappings in a single index is it a problem is  
these mappings set a different analyzer for the \_all field (say one mapping  
would use the english analyzer while another one might use the italian)?

Hey,

I guess "a few mappings" translate to several types, right? If this is the  
case you can configure a different analyzer for the the \_all field for each  
type.
