Hi, I have a document with different text fields. For example I have a text field for french text (text\_fr) which has a french analyzer set in the mapping. Once the indexing is done and I try to query the; field specific (text\_fr:"xyz") querying works well with fuzziness (searching for word "person" will return the documents with "personne"). However if I do a all search with "person" it doesn't return anything. I tried applying french analyzer for the query but no results. Any pointers to what I am missing will be of great help.

For example, I have a field named text\_fr (french analyzed), when I search with: { "query": { "query\_string": { "query": "person", "\_name": "person", "analyzer": "french" } } } I dont get any results. However if I search with { "query": { "query\_string": { "query": "text\_fr:person", "\_name": "text\_fr:person" } } } Is there a away I can retrieve the documents with "personne" (documents retrieved in the second query) by using all (not field specific) query. Hope this adds more info on my use case. On Wednesday, April 1, 2015 at 10:40:24 AM UTC-7, werewolf420 wrote: > Hi, > > I have a document with different text fields.

I was able to repro that. It looks like the "analyzer" attribute is not picked up by the "query\_string" query. Any thoughts? Should we create a github issue?
