Apologies if this has already been asked. I was not able to find references. I had to update the settings on my index. curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/test1/\_settings](http://localhost:9200/test1/_settings)' -d '{ "index": { "analysis" :{ "analyzer": { "default": { "type" : "custom", "tokenizer" : "uax\_url\_email", "filter" : ["standard", "stop"] } } } } } ' Now how do I kickstart the reindexing process ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

I dont want to recreate the index and send in all the docs again. The limitation being I dont have any of the docs which have already indexed. Is there any other way redo the indexing ?

In that case you need to create a new index and index into that one. This plugin should help: > **[GitHub - karussell/elasticsearch-reindex: Simple re-indexing.
