Are you sure the username is not analyzed?

Thanks. It still gives me many matt's. I found I was running 5 elasticsearches. I stopped them all. Deleted the data directory and re-added the data. This was an error in how I was setup and running elasticsearch. I updated the gist [Exact matching · GitHub](https://gist.github.com/1131225) with the mapping call. I am still seeing the same results. I am sure I am now running only one elasticsearch. Thanks again for the help.

You have two types? document and person? Make sure username is not analyzed on both of them.

I dont mean to have two types. I am using the ruby Tire lib. I will work on recreating my types via curl and see if that helps things. I changed username to person.username and I also tried /g/person/\_search both of those came up empty. The way I index the data is incorrect. that would explain why there is a second type! Thanks for helping me debug this. Im pretty sure its my bulk index code. I will let you know when I figure it out.

For some reason, you end up indexing two types, I would check the indexing code and see why it happens... .

I saw this same behavior when using Tire this weekend. Are you indexing the item twice? I found that Tire's import method was stripping type from the documents, so when I reused the object to store an update, my type was set to document. Kindof an odd corner case, but it's definitely odd that Tire's import appears to modify the array of documents passed into it. -javier * * * From: [elasticsearch@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch@googlegroups.com) [elasticsearch@googlegroups.com] on behalf of Shay Banon [kimchy@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, August 08, 2011 9:31 AM To: [elasticsearch@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch@googlegroups.com) Subject: Re: Exact matching For some reason, you end up indexing two types, I would check the indexing code and see why it happens... .

After reading the tire gem I had locally I needed to use "type" or :type as a key in my data hashes. The newer version has more logic and includes :\_type or "\_type" which I was using. [https://github.com/karmi/tire/blob/master/lib/tire/index.rb](https://github.com/karmi/tire/blob/master/lib/tire/index.rb) line 270ish for more. Thanks everyone for the help! I am now only getting one matt back. Also I suspect the geo features should work now. Thanks so much!

Hi, a) why not use the curl-based output from Tire's logger, implemented exactly for a situation like this, for the gist? (see readme) b) it's fairly clear you should set the type property in the [http://karmi.github.com/tire](http://karmi.github.com/tire) docs... @javier: could you extract the problem you had with stripping the type property from the Hash and send an issue for that? The reasoning behind is, of course, that storing the type is completely unnecessary, because such information is already contained in the ES document type...
