Exception when quering for exact match (but mapping works fine for few documents)

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I'm trying to index football related data and query them. I want to query
for exact match, because some fields contains lots of names and quering for
string like 'Frank Lampard' won't be very accurate. So I want use
query_string and do exact match of '"Frank Lampard"' and there I run into
troubles.

With just few documents in my type (like 50 maximum), everything runs
smoothly. But when I index few more documents, Elasticsearch gives me
following Exception:

query[filtered(+ConstantScore(:) +(goals:"frank

lampard"))->cache(_type:match)],from[0],size[10]: Query Failed [Failed to
execute main query]]; nested: IllegalStateException[field "goals" was
indexed without position data; cannot run PhraseQuery (term=frank)]; }]

My mapping in this case is very simple, just custom analyzer with truncate,
webalize, lowercase and asciifolding. I tried almost every combination of
index_options and term_vector, but nothing seems to work.

I run following version of Elasticsearch on my MacbookPro:
{
"ok" : true,
"status" : 200,
"name" : "Omega I",
"version" : {
"number" : "0.90.3",
"build_hash" : "5c38d6076448b899d758f29443329571e2522410",
"build_timestamp" : "2013-08-06T13:18:31Z",
"build_snapshot" : false,
"lucene_version" : "4.4"
},
"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Can you provide your mapping, especially for the goal field? Better yet,
what does the mapping API return? At some point, it was indexed without
positions.

Thank you for taking interest in my problem.

I tried few more things and I think I have found the reason of this
behaviour. The original mapping is just fine (few byte fields and another 7
string fields with simple analyzer and index_options set to positions).
This works fine, even when I index thousands of documents. But I originally
had other mappings in this index and some string fields had index_options
set as docs. After I index documents to these mappings, the aforementioned
problem immediatelly occurrs.

I run into same behaviour in our production server, where older version of
Elasticsearch is installed. For my case, setting index_options to positions
will help. But it's probably a nasty bug.
