I'm trying to add a bigram field for use as described at [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-suggesters-phrase.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-suggesters-phrase.html) I defined a bigram tokenizer like so: "bigram\_tokenizer": { ``` "type" : "nGram" ,"min_gram" : 2 ,"max_gram" : 2 ,"token_chars": ["letter", "digit"] ``` } and a bigram analyzer like so: "bigram\_analyzer" : { ``` "type" : "custom" ,"char_filter" : ["html_strip"] ,"tokenizer" : "bigram_tokenizer" ,"filter" : [ "lowercase" ,"asciifolding" ] ``` } then I'm trying to add a field in the mapping, like so: ``` "bigram" : { "type": "text", "analyzer": "bigram_analyzer" } ``` but this fails. any ideas? thanks! -- Igal Sapir Railo Core Developer [http://getRailo.org/](http://getRailo.org/) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
