Per ES guide, we can configure similarity on a field in mapping setting like this: { "book" : { "properties" : { "title" : { "type" : "string", "similarity" : "my\_similarity" } } } Is this possible to configure the similarity on index or type level so that don't have to configure the similarity for each field one by one? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
