What is your search request? Note, you need to specify a default field to search against if you disable \_all.

I added a comment there. You use `term` query that does not really use `default_field`.

Follow up: Seems like "default\_field" does not work with most of queries regardless \_all is disabled or not. Hope this helps. ---

default\_field applies only for the query\_string query, all the other queries simply require you to specify the field to search on (like term query).

I see now. Thank you so much for clearing it out. It turned out I did wrong at the first place when I tried to disable \_all. I used Java API and mistakingly did like this: client.admin().indices().preparePutMapping("index1").setType("type1").setSource("{"\_all": {"enabled": false }}").execute() I thought I didn't need to give the type name again in the source because it was given to setType(). But it was not correct. (right?) Because of this mistake, I was not able to hit any query, so I came to this page and saw your response mentioning about 'default field'. Anyway, the problem solved. Thanks again. ---
