Hello, Will elasticsearch support ipv6 addresses as an IP type. Especially native support for searching different presentations. e.g. The following addresses are all the same ip addresses with different presentations 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334 2001:0db8:85a3:0:0:8a2e:0370:7334 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334 ---

Thank Mark for pointing me in the correct direction. As far as I can see the problem is that Lucene does not support ipv6 yet but they are working on it. ---
