Hi, I would like to know how a given document has been analyzed by ES / Lucene for debug needs. Here is my story : I define a setting (new analyzer) when creating my index. My analyzer is a lowercase with keyword (aka key\_lowercase) I push document into this index. There is a field in it (prop1.prop2.prop3) with the value "term1 term2 term3" When I analyze this value with the \_analyze API, I can see that there is only one token "term1 term2 term3". That's what I am waiting for. I try to search on this field with a wildcard like "term1\*term3". No results. If I try to search for "term1", I got a result. So it seems that my Document field has been tokenized into 3 tokens. So, that's why I would like to know if there is a way to see what ES/Lucene have done with my document. Any idea ? Changing the log level ? Thanks for any help David. ---

There isn't a way to do it, aside from getting the mapping back and making sure its using the analyzer you use. Its not logged... .

Thanks Shay. As far as I can see, my mapping seems to be ok. It seems that my problem doesn’t occur on first level properties of my document (such as prop1) but occur on sublevel properties (such as prop1.prop2.prop3). I will try to make new tests tomorrow and gist it.

Ok. Problem is solved now. Just for sharing with others. An old json mapping file was in my config/mappings dir. So when I put mapping with ES API, my new mapping is not "active". But, it seems that when I ask for the current mapping with ES API (curl -X GET [http://localhost:9200/index/doctype/\_mapping](http://localhost:9200/index/doctype/_mapping)), ES seems to return the mapping I tried to put and not the active mapping. I write "seems to" because I did not make any deeper tests as I found my issue. I will try to reproduce it in the next days and if the problem occurs again, I will gist it. Thanks for reading 😉 David ---

When you ask for the mapping of a type, elasticsearch will return the mapping that is exactly used for it (the one built), it won't return something that its not using...
