We have requirement of indexing email which have multiple attachments and we have to highlight the search results. How can i map the highlight string array to my multiple attachments. My index mapping is { "document":{ "properties":{ "attachmentContent":{ "type":"attachment", "path":"full", "fields":{ "attachmentContent":{ "type":"string", "term\_vector":"with\_positions\_offsets", "store":true } } } } } } My indexed document is {"userId":2,"attachmentContent":[{"content":"VGhpcyBpcyBudW1iZXIgb25lLg==","serviceAttachmentId":"1","fileName":"1.txt","type":"xml"}, { {"content":"IkdvZCBTYXZlIHRoZSBRdWVlbiIgKGFsdGVybmF0aXZlbHkgIkdvZCBTYXZlIHRoZSBLaW5nIg==","serviceAttachmentId":"2","fileName":"2.txt","type":"excel"}] } My Questions are 1.How can i access the "serviceAttachmentId" inside the "attachmentContent" field which is of type attachment. 2.How can i filter the documents based on type. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

You can't add your own subfields to the attachment field. Though this should be doable but requires some work IMO. Also, I think you need to use nested documents. And add whatever field you want in the nested doc (type, id...) and add the attachment field as well.
