If my data is in following format "myContent":{ "product":{ "name":"test", "date":"2013", "features":{ "non-functional":{ "type": "hardware", }, "functional":{ "name":"search" } } } } How can apply a analyzer to the non-funtional 'type' in my mapping, and them use that 'type' as filter query in my searches. I'm not clear on how to access properties of child objects. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

If i want to use type as a filter query can i reference it using 'product.features.non-functional.type' as the field property?

If you provide this document like this to elasticsearch: curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/my\_index/context/1' -d '{ "myContent":{ "product":{ "name":"test", "date":"2013", "features":{ "non-functional":{ "type": "hardware" }, "functional":{ "name":"search" } } } } }' Do a refesh (Happens automatically every second by default, but just showing it to complete the example): curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/my\_index/\_refresh' And then search with a filtered query like this: curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/my\_index/\_search' -d '{ "query" : { "filtered" : { "filter" : { "term" : {"myContent.product.features.non-functional.type" : "hardware"} } } } }' The search result should include the previous index document.
