Hi all,

I want to modify one field's search analyzer from "standard" to "keyword"  
after the index created. So I try to PUT mapping :

$ curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/qindex/main/\_mapping](http://localhost:9200/qindex/main/_mapping)' -d '

> {  
> "main" : {  
> "properties" : {  
> "name" : { "type": "string", "index": "analyzed",  
> "index\_analyzer": "filename\_ngram", "search\_analyzer": "keyword"}  
> }  
> }  
> }  
> '

The operation seems succeed. Because I expect it might conflict, what would  
the situations that conflict might occur? This is my first question.

Anyway then I try to get the mapping out: (partial)

```
  "name": {

```

> ```
> "type": "string",
> "index_analyzer": "filename_ngram",
> "search_analyzer": "keyword",
> "include_in_all": true,
> "search_quote_analyzer": "standard"
> }
> 
> ```

So I am wondering whether my operation succeeded? and what is the  
"search\_quote\_analyzer" function? And it still remains "standard", does it  
matter?

Could anyone answer me these questions?

Cheers,

Ivan

search\_quote\_analyzer sets the "analyzer"  
[http://search.cpan.org/~drtech/Elastic-Model-0.27/lib/Elastic/Manual/Attributes.pod#analyzer](http://search.cpan.org/~drtech/Elastic-Model-0.27/lib/Elastic/Manual/Attributes.pod#analyzer)  
to use in a Query-String query  
[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/query-dsl/query-string-query.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/query-dsl/query-string-query.html)  
or Field query  
[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/query-dsl/field-query.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/query-dsl/field-query.html)  
when the search phrase includes quotes (""). If not set, then it falls back  
to the"search\_analyzer"
