In current releases of Elasticsearch, can a template be configured to not analyze an index? In a 4-year old blog post I saw someone had used: "index" : "not\_analyzed". Does this functionality still exist? I can not find anything about it in current documentation. ---

Hey Tony, In Elasticsearch 6 onwards there were changes to string fields to avoid confusion. Instead of having a `string` field with either `analyzed` or `not_analyzed` there are now two distinct fields: `text` -- Used for full text search, replacing the old `analyzed` `keyword` -- Used for keyword search, replacing the old `not_analyzed` [https://www.elastic.co/blog/strings-are-dead-long-live-strings](https://www.elastic.co/blog/strings-are-dead-long-live-strings) has the full details Hope that helps Cheers, Mike ---
