Hi everybody ! 🙂

I've got an issue when I try to apply a phonetic filter : I do not have any  
highlight anymore.

Here is the settings used :  
"analysis": {  
"analyzer": {  
"my\_analyzer": {  
"filter": [  
"standard",  
"lowercase",  
"my\_stemmer",  
"my\_phonetic"  
],  
"tokenizer": "standard"  
}  
},  
"filter": {  
"my\_stemmer": {  
"type": "stemmer",  
"replace": "false",  
"name": "french"  
},  
"my\_phonetic": {  
"replace": "false",  
"type": "phonetic",  
"languageset": [  
"french",  
"english",  
"german"  
],  
"encoder": "beidermorse"  
}  
}  
}

Without this filter, more precisely if I use those filters, then it works :  
"my\_analyzer": {  
"filter": [  
"lowercase",  
"asciifolding",  
"my\_stemmer"  
],  
"tokenizer": "standard"  
}

Does anyone can help me ? Or have a piece of idea by any chance ?

Thanks,

Well, since I've posted this message I didn't find any reliable solution,  
it looks like a bug in the phonetic plugin.

There is at least a workaround : as I'm using my custom analysis in \_all,  
the workaround consists to put a more standard analyser on the wanted field  
(for ex. "content") and to use the "highlight\_query" on it. But it will  
only highlight when the standard analyser returns the same query (i.e. when  
if you query "quik" instead of "quick", highlighter won't work).

Have a good day all !

Erdal.
