Hello, I need an to specify a dynamic analyzer that matches a specific element in my object but the path is not as simple as the example in [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/mapping/analyzer-field.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/mapping/analyzer-field.html). I have the following mapping: { "type1" : { "\_analyzer" : { "path" : "locale" }, "properties" : { "context" : {"type" : "string", "index" : "no"}, "graph" : { "properties" : { "locale" : "en", "other\_field" : "blabla" } } } ``` } ``` } I've ran some tests and it seems that it is not finding the "locale" field. How can I specify that the path is "locale" inside "graph"? Thank you for your help. Regards, Carla -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Try setting the path to 'graph.locale' clint -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
