When defining indexing in in elasticsearch.yml I am wanting to index one  
field for one type differently for one of the others.

This is how my elasticsearch.yml file currently looks:

# Index Settings

index:  
bookshelf:  
types:  
book:  
mappings:

```
      title: {analyzer: customAnalyzer}

```

analysis:  
analyzer:  
# set standard analyzer with no stop words as the default for both  
indexing and searching  
default:  
type: standard  
stopwords: _none_  
customAnalyzer:  
type: custom  
tokenizer: nGramTokenizer  
filter: [lowercase,stopWordsFilter,asciifolding]  
tokenizer:  
nGramTokenizer:  
type: nGram  
min\_gram: 1  
max\_gram: 2  
filter:  
stopWordsFilter:  
type: stop  
stopwords: _none_

And what is your question?

May I suggest you read:  
[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/admin-indices-put-mapping.html)

Hi David

Thanks for your quick response (I was actually expecting this to be ignored  
since it isn't much of a question).

I have re-asked the question here[https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/elasticsearch/TSSBZUPBK\_4](https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/elasticsearch/TSSBZUPBK_4)if you wouldn't mind moving our discussion into there?

In regards to the link - I have read that documentation but I am using the  
Java Client so I think I need to specify this information in the  
elasticsearch.yml file which I I do not think I am doing correctly at the  
moment.
