Hi,

I want to add asciifolding filter to elasticsearch.yml config file so i added this analyzer :  
index :  
analysis :  
analyzer :  
default :  
tokenizer : standard  
filter : [standard, lowercase, asciifolding]

so when i search for example : "sebast" with prefix or wildcard query, it yield the good doc which contain "sébastien"  
however, when i search with "sébast" keyword, with the previous queries dsl, it yield nothing except if i use "query\_string", or i need to use wildcard.

So, is there a solution??

Thanks
