Hi,
I have some facet fields I don't want analyzed. E.g.
"dates": [
"December 17, 1970"
]
The facet comes back only "december" in lowercase and without the rest. Of
course, this isn't useful.
I didn't see an analyzer in the docs that was just a "leave it as is"
analyzer.
Also, I don't want lowercase facets either.
Thanks for any help!
🙂

So don't analyze at all the field! 🙂
Set "index": "not\_analyzed"

That works. Thank you. Still learning ES here. 🙂

#### Post date: [December 18, 2013, 1:59am UTC](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/analyzer-help-for-facet-fields/14887/4 "2013-12-18T01:59:24Z")
Now there is a similar problem from this.
I set my document field to be "not\_analyzed" for "places:
So I get
"places": [
"This\_That",
"Here\_and\_There"
]
The facets come back exactly as you see them.
But now, I cannot search on those strings. I have to use string query.
When I do "places:"This\_That" it says ZERO results.
If I do:
"places":"This That"
I get results as if "this OR that"
How can I indicate in a query string to not analyze this field? On a per
query basis?
