Hi All,

I´m trying to search using my own analyzer which was configured into elasticsearch.yml. The index mapping is declared below and it is working quite well.

```
private String fileAsString = "{"
	+ "\"tweet\" : {"
	+ " \"properties\" : {"
	+ " \"user\" : { \"type\" : \"string\", \"index\" : \"analyzed\", \"store\" : \"yes\"},"
	+ " \"message\" : { \"type\" : \"string\", \"index\" : \"analyzed\", \"store\" : \"yes\", \"analyzer\" : \"my_analyzer\", \"term_vector\" : \"with_positions_offsets\"}"
	+ "}}}";

```

However I did not find a way to carry out a query using JAVA API based on the new analyzer. Is there a way to do this?

Regards,

Alex

Hi,

if you search on a "message" field the "my\_analyzer" is not used?

Also I can see that query builders has a method to set analyzer, for  
example:  
[https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/modules/elasticsearch/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/index/query/xcontent/QueryStringQueryBuilder.java#L152](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/modules/elasticsearch/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/index/query/xcontent/QueryStringQueryBuilder.java#L152)

Regards,  
Lukas
