Hey,

can you provide some more information for us to take a closer look at the  
issue? Maybe as a gist at github:

- Mapping of the index you are querying
- Your query
- Configuration of your analyzers/filters in your yaml file (if available)  
or index configuration. The configuration you already posted is there, but  
a bit fragmented (I just want to make sure, not having overlooked  
something).
- Sample indexed document
