How to define a analyzer for an index, not just field? It seems by default it will not using the default analyzer I defined in elasticsearch.yml. index.analysis.analyzer.default.type: ik If I request: [http://localhost:9200/useridx/\_search?q=Lin](http://localhost:9200/useridx/_search?q=Lin) it doesn't using the default analyzer. And this works: [http://localhost:9200/useridx/\_search?analyzer=ik&q=Lin](http://localhost:9200/useridx/_search?analyzer=ik&q=Lin) Do we need each query time set the analyzer? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
