Hello I have to create a mapping to a type that will have a text field with values: - that are huge (more than 32KB), - that are very bad structured, and will have snippets like "elas tic search" and I need to find it when the user searches for "elasticsearch" or "elastic search" I can't modify the source of the text, it is extracted from a pdf file, so I have to handle the issues in the type mapping Can someone give me some advices on how to map this field? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
