Get mapping only returns the field type. How to retrieve other fields values - like index, store, etc.?

If not explicity set by you, it means that defaults are used. ## HTH David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 19 sept. 2013 à 05:58, Arkadiy Rudin [arkrud85@gmail.com](mailto:arkrud85@gmail.com) a écrit : > ## Get mapping only returns the field type.

I set some options explicity and I see them working when I query the index. But GET mappings is not showing them. So my question is - how I can see the options I set?

Hi David, You were right and I was confused a bit. Initially I had a index mapping with all defaults for my "string" type field. Then I added "index": "analyzed". After getting mappings back I was unable to see this in the mapping JSON. And it is correct becuase "analyzed" is default value. I was ajusting the fileld only because I was searching using some of my terms which started with uppercase letter (like Obama) and it was not returning results. When searched with same term in all lovercase it is returning results as expected. I am new to ES and was using /head Structured Query interface which acts this way with uppercase. Is it by the way an expected behavier and how to make sure that query will return hits on terms started with uppercase?
