Hi all,
I have multiple fields with different analyzers:
**text\_english** , **text\_spanish** , **text\_french** , etc..
I'm executing the follow query string:
```auto
{
"query": {
"query_string": {
"fields": [
"text_*"
],
"query": "bla bla bla"
}
}
}
```
I have another field (NO INDEX) with the same name pattern **text\_full** that cause the following error:
```auto
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot search on field [text_full] since it is not indexed.
```
Is there any way to exclude that field in query / to suppress this exception ?

Would may be better to use `copy_to` feature and copy whatever you want to index in something like `full.text` so it won't conflict.
What is this `text_full` field BTW? What is the mapping?

```
"text_spanish":{
"type":"text",
"analyzer": "MY_SPANISH_ANALYZER",
"term_vector":"with_positions_offsets"
},
"text_full":{
"type":"keyword",
"index":"false"
}
```
text\_spanish is a analyzed snippet from the text

Why you don't index text\_full? I'm trying to understand your use case.

I need to analyzed only the snippet and also search only in the analyzed snippet.
Search in the text\_full can retrieve irrelevant results for me.
