hi ,
Is there a way to change search analyzer settings without re-indexing the
entire data. I am experimenting with various configuration and every time i
change the setting i am re-indexing.
## setting:
```
"autocomplete_search":{
"type":"custom",
"tokenizer":"my_pipe_analyzer",
"filter":[
"lowercase",
"syns_filter",
```
## "stop" ] }, "autocomplete\_index":{ "type":"custom", "tokenizer":"standard", "filter":["standard", "lowercase", "syns\_filter", "stop", "my\_edgeNgram"] } mapping:
```
"name":{
"type":"string",
"index_analyzer" : "autocomplete_index",
"search_analyzer" : "autocomplete_search"
},
```

I don't think it will work but you can set the analyzer you want at query time: [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-match-query.html#\_boolean:](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-match-query.html#_boolean:)
The analyzer can be set to control which analyzer will perform the analysis process on the text. It default to the field explicit mapping definition, or the default search analyzer.
