I'm trying to run a regexp query on the \_all field, this query is failing because \_all is analyzed.  
Is there a way to make the \_all field not analyzed?

Thanks.

Use `copy_to` feature instead and copy the content you want to whatever field.  
This field can be non analyzed or a keyword.

Hey David, thanks for the quick reply

I cant quite figure out how to use the copy\_to feature because I intend to copy a field of nested type to the new field..  
Any suggestions?
