I've tried a dozen variations to get this to work, so clearly there is something I don't understand. I'm trying to dynamically create a field on an object with both an analyzed version of the field and a non-analyzed one so that the faceted results can return individual terms or the whole field. eg. meta.byline : "Greg Brown" and meta\_raw.byline : "Greg Brown"; Result of the meta\_raw.byline facet should be "Greg Brown" while meta.byline should have two terms: "greg" and "brown" Here's my latest attempt: [https://gist.github.com/3640532](https://gist.github.com/3640532) Maybe I'm not using the path\_match on the dynamic template correctly? Also, I feel like the '"index" : "not\_analyzed"' on the meta\_raw object mapping should get inherited by sub-fields, but that doesn't seem to be what happens. Bonus points for a way to use the multi\_field type mapping to make meta.byline and meta.byline.raw work. I decided to just try and get the simple solution to work first. Thanks for the help. -Greg -- ---

Figured out my own problem. Defining the meta and meta\_raw fields as objects seemed to override the dynamic template. Not sure if this is intended behavior.

I haven't had any success using the "path\_match" option either. Instead, I use the "match" option which works fine which matches only on the field name and not on the path. If that isn't strict enough, then I define each object's mapping explicitly. To fix your dynamic\_templates section for the multi\_field, change "path\_match" : "_meta._" to "match" : "byline" On Wednesday, September 5, 2012 3:00:55 PM UTC-5, Greg Brown wrote: > Figured out my own problem.
