Hello guys,

I've an issue with a match query on a text field that contains a product title.

Product titles:

- A: `Spezial-Träger`
- B: `Träger`

If someone searches for `Spezial-Träger` only A should match since it's the most precise match you can get, because it's exactly the product the customer is searching for.

But if you enter `Träger` it should match the base product `Träger` as well as the more precise one `Spezial-Träger`.

I tried to define an `index_analyzer` which generates all possible token variations of the indexed product:  
A: `spezialtrager`, `spezial`, `trager`  
B: `trager`

Then I tried to define a `search_analyzer` which only generates the most precise token possible:  
A: `spezialtrager`  
B: `trager`

**ES \_analyze:**  
Index: "Spezial-Träger":  
{  
"tokens": [  
{  
"token": "spezialtrager",  
"start\_offset": 0,  
"end\_offset": 14,  
"type": "word",  
"position": 0  
},  
{  
"token": "spezial",  
"start\_offset": 0,  
"end\_offset": 7,  
"type": "word",  
"position": 0  
},  
{  
"token": "trager",  
"start\_offset": 8,  
"end\_offset": 14,  
"type": "word",  
"position": 1  
}  
]  
}

Search: "Spezial-Träger":  
{  
"tokens": [  
{  
"token": "spezialtrager",  
"start\_offset": 0,  
"end\_offset": 14,  
"type": "word",  
"position": 0  
}  
]  
}

As I follow the ES documentation:

- Tokens are evaluated in an specific order, different analyzers have to generate the same order of common tokens

But I don't get any match. I am lost 😃

Thanks a lot for any help.

Kind regards,  
Christian
