We have customers creating documents with arbitrary fields and we need to both analyze and sort them on request. I wonder if there is a chance to configure that for every field of this documents type a multi field mapping is created, with an untouched version and an analyzed version? Like changing the default dynamic mapping to a multi field dynamic mapping type. Any ideas?

You can use dynamic templates in your mappings (examples shown on the link below): [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping-root-object-type.html#\_dynamic\_templates](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping-root-object-type.html#_dynamic_templates) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
