**Elasticsearch version** : 1.5.2 **Plugin jar** elasticsearch-analysis-phonetic-2.5.0.jar (properly installed through command line) **JVM version** : 1.8.0\_66 **OS version** : Windows 7 Professional **Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior** : Hi. I go through documentation [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/1.x/phonetic-matching.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/1.x/phonetic-matching.html) The configuration requests were fine. All the diagnosis requests with /my\_index/\_analyze?analyzer=dbl\_metaphone for 1. John Smith 2. Jonnie Smythe 3. Jahnnie Smeeth return the same list of tokens: JN, AN, SM0, XMT For example POST [http://127.0.0.1:9201/my\_index/\_analyze?analyzer=dbl\_metaphone](http://127.0.0.1:9201/my_index/_analyze?analyzer=dbl_metaphone) Content-Type: application/json Jahnnie Smeeth -- response -- 200 OK Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 Content-Length: 336 {"tokens":[{"token":"JN","start\_offset":0,"end\_offset":7,"type":"","position":1},{"token":"AN","start\_offset":0,"end\_offset":7,"type":"","position":1},{"token":"SM0","start\_offset":8,"end\_offset":14,"type":"","position":2},{"token":"XMT","start\_offset":8,"end\_offset":14,"type":"","position":2}]} All the search requests with /my\_index/my\_type/\_search and above names returns no results. POST [http://127.0.0.1:9201/my\_index/my\_type/\_search](http://127.0.0.1:9201/my_index/my_type/_search) Content-Type: application/json { "query": { "match": { "name.phonetic": { "query": "Jahnnie Smeeth", "operator": "and" } } } } -- response -- 200 OK Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 Content-Length: 123 {"took":94,"timed\_out":false,"\_shards":{"total":5,"successful":5,"failed":0},"hits":{"total":0,"max\_score":null,"hits":[]}} No errors during launch and working in the logs. I am not sure that it's a bug so decided to start from discussion. Am I miss something? Appreciate your help. P.S. Notice that my port is 9201, your may be 9200. I also use POST http requests instead of GET by documentation. ---

I have found where I was wrong. Sorry guys for your time but I missed mapping step PUT /my\_index/\_mapping/my\_type { "properties": { "name": { "type": "string", "fields": { "phonetic": { "type": "string", "analyzer": "dbl\_metaphone" } } } } } All works fine. Thank you for your job ---
