Help - custom anaylzer almost works but not getting the results I want when searching _all

I got elastic search up and running and indexing but I do not want it to
tokenize the dash out. So I searched around and wrote a custom analyzer.
This works but I want it to be the default for all indices and types but
can't seem to get that going.

Anyway, I created a new index with command:

PUT http://myhost:9200/new_index
{
"settings":{
"index":{
"analysis":{
"analyzer":{
"s2i_analyzer":{
"type":"custom",
"tokenizer":"keyword",
"filter":[
"word_filter",
"lowercase"
]
}
},
"filter":{
"word_filter":{
"type":"word_delimiter",
"generate_word_parts":"false",
"generate_number_parts":"false",
"split_on_numerics":"false",
"split_on_case_change":"false",
"preserve_original":"true"
}
}
}
}
}
}

That works, then I can successfully, set that analyzer on a type's field by
doing command
PUT http://myhost:9200/new_index/new_type/_mapping
{
"new_type":{
"properties":{
"alias":{
"type":"string",
"index_analyzer":"s2i_analyzer",
"search_analyzer":"s2i_analyzer"
},
"modelName":{
"type":"string",
"index_analyzer":"s2i_analyzer",
"search_analyzer":"s2i_analyzer"
},
"_all":{
"type":"string",
"index_analyzer":"s2i_analyzer",
"search_analyzer":"s2i_analyzer"
}
}
}
}
That works successfully.

I successfully query using query_string and get the correct results I
expect on fields modelName and alias.
HOWEVER, the same query but change the field name to _all, returns NO
RESULTS. I don't understand.
I have a modelName "Owner_at_1-1tenth_Boxes".

I can query with query_string Owner_at_1-1* and it works when using field
modelName but not _all.
I can query with query_string Owner* and it works for both field modelName
and _all

So how do I make the default analyzer for both index and search be the
s2i_analyzer for ALL FIELDS so the dash is handled the way we want.

I have been search the forum and web and found that to set the default, it
should be index.analysis.analyzer.default.type. So I tried many times to
add it to either the settings on index creation and
I tried to add it to the mapping on the type.

BUT I got errors or it did not work. So can you please try me whether I
should:

  1. It needs to be done on index creation or type mapping?
  2. What is the exact json that I add to my stuff?

Thanks in advance.

If you want to use this analyzer for all fields, you can simply define it
as default analyzer:

curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/new_index -d '{
"settings":{
"index":{
"analysis":{
"analyzer":{
"default":{
"type":"custom",
"tokenizer":"keyword",
"filter":[
"word_filter",
"lowercase"
]
}
},
"filter":{
"word_filter":{
"type":"word_delimiter",
"generate_word_parts":"false",
"generate_number_parts":"false",
"split_on_numerics":"false",
"split_on_case_change":"false",
"preserve_original":"true"
}
}
}
}
}
}'

This way, you will not have to apply it explicitly for every single field.

If you want to use this analyzer for all fields, you can simply define
it as default analyzer:

              "tokenizer":"keyword",

              "filter":[

                 "word_filter",

                 "lowercase"

              ]

           }

        },

        "filter":{

           "word_filter":{

              "type":"word_delimiter",

              "generate_word_parts":"false",

              "generate_number_parts":"false",

              "split_on_numerics":"false",

              "split_on_case_change":"false",

              "preserve_original":"true"

           }

        }

     }

  }

}

}'
