Hi, all
I am wondering: can I change the index\_options to `freqs` or `docs` for
analyzed string field?
If yes, what would happen if I configure the field like this?
And what kind of queries or operations need the index\_options of analyzed
string field to be "positions" or even "offsets" ?
Any ideas? Thanks.
Best,
Ivan
