Hello, I am using several \_all like multifields to collect searchable data from dozens of properties some of my \_all like fields hold original terms other stemmed or shingled I am wondering how ES identify default search analyzer if not specified in query? Can my all fields have mapping definitions like \_all has? I suspect not since I can use different analysis feeding into those fields from different properties. Does it mean that while using these fields I must specify search analyzer in all my queries?

Let's say that your \_all like field is myall. When you define a multifield, it creates "subfields" like: myall.myall (default field used when you search in myall) myall.multi1 myall.multi2 Each of these could have its own analyzer (index analyzer and search analyzer). So when you search in myall, the myall.myall analyzer will be applied to your search query. If you search in myall.multi1, then myall.multi1 analyzer will be applied as well for this query. Makes sense? -- David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 6 nov. 2013 à 01:10, AlexR [roytmana@gmail.com](mailto:roytmana@gmail.com) a écrit : Hello, I am using several \_all like multifields to collect searchable data from dozens of properties some of my \_all like fields hold original terms other stemmed or shingled I am wondering how ES identify default search analyzer if not specified in query?

Alex - Would you mind sharing a snippet of how you have defined a new myAll field similar to "\_all". I need to do the same and hence looking for an example. -Amit.
