Is it possible to configure elasticsearch not to lowercase Query String queries without having to specifying "lowercase\_expanded\_terms" on every request? Background: I am trying to disable this functionality without modifying Kibana source code. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

You can create a new custom analyzer that mimics the standard analyzer, but without the lowercase filter. Of course, you would need to reindex data. -- Ivan On Mon, May 19, 2014 at 7:39 PM, [dshelepov@gmail.com](mailto:dshelepov@gmail.com) wrote: > Is it possible to configure elasticsearch not to lowercase Query String > queries without having to specifying "lowercase\_expanded\_terms" on every > request?

Thanks. I've already tried that before posting (by the way, because I'm interesting in modifying search analysis behaviour, not indexing analysis, I'm not sure there would be a need to reindex), but it doesn't work. I have a custom search analyzer that uses keyword tokenizer and no filters. So there should be no lowercasing occurring at search time. However when I use Query String queries, I still have my query strings lowercased unless I specify lowercase\_expanded\_terms:false. My conclusion is that this query does a round of lowercasing that is separate and independent from search-time analysis lowercasing. Hence the question if it's possible to disable it.
