Hi All, I would like to perform case insensitive search on not\_analyzed field, as well as I would like to provide support for wildcard search. And, wildcard search is not working on keyword analyzer. Also, I tried by using query string query, but it would not giving expected search result.

Ankit, You'll need to analyze a field to search case-insensitive. You can always use multi-field mapping and create two mappings for one field: One of the mappings is analyzed one way (such as the way you need to search), and the other is analyzed differently or not at all.

The mapping for such a scenario would like like this: { type\_name: { properties: { type: "multi\_field", fields: { field\_name\_searchable: { type: "string" }, field\_name\_untouched: { type: "string", index: "not\_analyzed" } } } } } If you take a look at the [Standard Analyzer page](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/index-modules/analysis/standard-analyzer/), you'll notice that case insensitive search is enabled by default (with the Lowercase tokenizer). The mapping defined above will allow you to perform wildcard and case-insensitive search on "field\_name\_searchable" as well as giving you literal matches on "field\_name\_untouched". Hope that answers your question. ---
