Analyzer problem

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I'm new to elasticsearch and still trying to understand how exactly all the
index & mapping definitions affect the search.

I defined an edgeNGram analyzer , so I could search for partial words,
but now I have a problem of too many data returning

when I search for "serial" I get results for serialize, serializable ,
serialed ,etc.
but I also get "service" which I don't want

I defined the analyzer as follows:

.startObject("test_filter_ngram")
.field("type, "edgeNGram")
.field("min_gram", 3)
.field("max_gram", 40)
.endObject()

is there any other way to configure it to avoid false positives , and still
be able to search partial words?

Are you using the same analyzer during both indexing and querying? You
should only apply ngrams at index time and search without apply ngrams to
your search terms.

Cheers,

that is exactly what I'm doing - I did not specify any analyzer at the query
only at index time.
