Hi there,

The following works for me (searching for 'testing' also returns fields  
with 'test'): index : analysis : analyzer : default : type : snowball  
language : english when set up in my elasticsearch.yml file .

I want to combine this with the soundex I have installed so I have tried  
this :

index : analysis : analyzer : default : type : custom tokenizer : standard  
filter : [standard, lowercase, soundex\_filter, stemming] filter :  
soundex\_filter : type : phonetic encoder : soundex replace : true stemming  
: type : snowball language : english

but no success, none of them seems to work (no stemming or soundex hits)

Anybody had any success at combining filters ?
