hello,

for particular query, how can i define separate query analyzers by  
field (phonetic\_name, name). Just define search\_analyzers for phonetic\_name & name in Put Mapping of Index/Type?

{  
"query\_string" : {  
"fields" : ["phonetic\_name", "name^5"],  
"query" : "italian food",  
"use\_dis\_max" : true  
}  
}

Yes, that would work. In the mapping for each field you can specify  
different search\_analyzer.
