Hi all,

Assume my schema is

{

> "settings": {  
> "index": {  
> "analysis": {  
> "analyzer": {  
> "ik\_analyzer": {  
> "tokenizer": "ik",  
> "filter": ["engram"]  
> }  
> },  
> "filter": {  
> "engram": {  
> "type": "edgeNGram",  
> "min\_gram": 2,  
> "max\_gram": 10  
> }  
> }  
> }  
> }  
> },  
> "mappings": {  
> "main": {  
> "\_analyzer": {  
> "path": "analyzer\_name"  
> },  
> "properties": {  
> "id": { "type": "string", "index": "analyzed"},  
> "id2": { "type": "string", "index": "analyzed", "analyzer": "ik\_analyzer"},  
> "analyzer\_name": { "type": "string", "index": "not\_analyzed"}
> 
> }  
> }  
> }

I use the "\_analyzer" to use different analyzer which is decided by the  
"analyzer\_name" field between documents.

When I use the "match query" during search for the "id" field, whose  
analyzer is decided by the field of "analyzer\_name", what's the search  
analyzer to be used in this situation without explicitly specifying the  
search analyzer?  
And how to use the analyzer decided by the "analyzer\_name" field to be the  
search analyzer?

We know if I queried for the "id2" field, the search analyzer is decided by  
the analyzer it used, that is "ik\_analyzer".  
But does ES support the functionality, using the same analyzer to search  
with the analyzer at indexing, after setting the "\_analyzer" ?

Ideas?

cheers,

Ivan
