Hi All, I m trying to use term query to do full text search with combination of english and chinese character but it returned me empty records. \*Documents in the index : \* "\_source": { "user": "kimchy", "post\_date": "2009-11-15T14:12:12", "message": "trying out Elastic Search" } "\_source": { "user": "kimchy", "post\_date": "2009-11-15T14:12:12", \* "message": "trying 汉字漢字 "\* } "\_source": { "user": "kimchy", "post\_date": "2009-11-15T14:12:12", \* "message": "trying汉字漢字 "\* } \*The index mapping : \* { "tweet": { "properties": { \* "message": {\* - ``` "type": "string",* ``` - ``` "index": "not_analyzed",* ``` - ``` "omit_norms": true,* ``` - ``` "index_options": "docs"* ``` - ``` },* "post_date": { "type": "date", "format": "dateOptionalTime" }, "user": { "type": "string" } } ``` } } \*The query tested : \* 1 ) { "query" : { "term" : { "message" : "trying汉字漢字" } } } _Result : Empty record_ 1. { "query" : { "term" : { "message" : "trying 汉字漢字" } } } _Result : Empty record_ \* \* \* \* 3. { "query" : { "term" : { "message" : "trying out Elastic Search" } } } _Result : One record_ My expected result is when i passed in "trying 汉字漢字" in the term query it should return me the documents that have "trying 汉字漢字" (exact word match). Any idea ? Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
