PasteBin of my attempted config: [http://pastebin.com/175jeAMB](http://pastebin.com/175jeAMB)

ElasticSearch 1.5.2

So I want to have a custom default analyzer, but after days of trying (and  
almost every Google link turned purple), have failed to get it to work.

All I get back out is:  
...

ElasticsearchIllegalArgumentException[failed to find analyzer type  
[supplyhogText] or tokenizer for [default]]

...

for each index.

I have tried setting it up without the "index.analysis.analyzer.default.type  
: "supplyhogText"" line, but it is like it doesn't see my definition lines.

Must be something really simple my tired eyes cannot see. Any ideas?

Hi Wil,

You should change `supplyhogText` to `default` in line 2, and delete last  
line.
