Hello everyone,  
I want a search capability on a field that contains 1 or 2 lines of  
statements.

I went through many articles but could not find right fit for analyzers.

Scenario: User may input any text containing single or multiple word or  
even half word and it can be in any case (upper or lower).

I want to search that user input on one of the fields.

Now,

- When I go with simple analyzer: it lower cases the text for search, but  
when user input multiple fields, it doesn't find a record
- When I got with no analyzer and wild card search: It gives me everything  
, but search becomes case sensitive

Could anyone please suggest how I can fulfil this scenario in elastic  
search?

Basically, I want my search to be case-insensitive and user may provide  
input of one or more words or even a half (partial) word.

Appreciate your inputs!

Regards,  
Sagar Shah
