I am facing a problem with elasticsearch where I dont want my indexed term to be analyzed. But the elasticsearch has some default setting which is tokenizing it on space. Therefore my facet query is not returning the result I want. I read that "index" : "not\_analyzed" in properties of index type should work. But the problem is that I dont know my document structure before hand. I would be indexing random MySQL databases to elasticsearch without knowing the table structure. How can I setup elasticsearch such that by default it uses "index" : "not\_analyzed" until otherwise asked for. Thanks PS: I am using java if I can directly use any API for it I would love it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hello Piyush, You could set the default mapping for all strings to be not\_analyzed by using dynamic templates: > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI.
