Hi, I have following Synonyms that I want to configure. software engineer =\> software engineer, se, senior software engineer =\> senior software engineer , see team lead =\> team lead, lead, tl So that If I searched for se or Software Engineer it should return me the records having software engineer. What mapping I should apply on Designation field? and what query I should fire to get the result.... It is possible to use multi\_match query? Following are the query to create the records. curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/employee/test/1?pretty](http://localhost:9200/employee/test/1?pretty)' -d '{"designation": "software engineer"}' curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/employee/test/2?pretty](http://localhost:9200/employee/test/2?pretty)' -d '{"designation": "software engineer"}' curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/employee/test/3?pretty](http://localhost:9200/employee/test/3?pretty)' -d '{"designation": "senior software engineer"}' curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/employee/test/4?pretty](http://localhost:9200/employee/test/4?pretty)' -d '{"designation": "senior software engineer"}' curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/employee/test/5?pretty](http://localhost:9200/employee/test/5?pretty)' -d '{"designation": "team lead"}' curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/employee/test/6?pretty&refresh=true](http://localhost:9200/employee/test/6?pretty&refresh=true)' -d '{"designation": "team lead"}' -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
