it is about analyzers, query analzer when searching , and index analyzer when indexing, both can be set through the mapping api against a field. most analyzers would discard the "is" after analying, as "is" is a useless word. so, you need to implement your own analyzer to keep your "is" when analying. ---

Thanks for reply me David i mean how can i parse a search keyword sentences from my keyword list ex : keyword list : "elasticsearch", "is", "my", "best choice" if my search string is "elasticsearch is my bestchoice" ... how can i config elasticsearch to parse sentences like this query: { bool: { ``` must: [ { "bool" : { "should": [ {term: { "testarea_name":"elasticsearch"}, {term: { "testarea_name":"is"}, {term: { "testarea_name":"my"} {term: { "testarea_name":"best choice"} ] } ] } ``` } On Friday, April 5, 2013 5:54:33 AM UTC+7, NILE NGUYỄN wrote: > im new from elasticsearch .. and i want to know to get a mean word from > elasticsearch > > for ex : > > i have 4 docs "elasticsearch", "is the best", "good" and "is my choice" > > i had done a search with keyword "elasticsearch is good". i get a result > matching all docs ... that is something i would not expect .. i want to get > only 2 docs : "elasticsearch" and "good" > > anybody can suggest me ??? > > SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH ☹ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

ok so what does make "good" make a "better" word than "is"? If you want to drop stopwords, just use 'stopword' filter or select mandatory terms first and build dedicated boolean queries. aside from this I don't really get why this query should pick 2 docs, sorry! simon On Friday, April 5, 2013 12:54:33 AM UTC+2, NILE NGUYỄN wrote: > im new from elasticsearch .. and i want to know to get a mean word from > elasticsearch > > for ex : > > i have 4 docs "elasticsearch", "is the best", "good" and "is my choice" > > i had done a search with keyword "elasticsearch is good". i get a result > matching all docs ... that is something i would not expect .. i want to get > only 2 docs : "elasticsearch" and "good" > > anybody can suggest me ??? > > SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH ☹ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
