Hello,

I'm trying to add taxonomies into my index. I add them like the following  
below.

However, when I do an aggregation as shown below the output breaks up "best  
price" into two separate buckets.  
I want "best price" to be only one bucket. What I mean is I don't want my  
taxonomies being broken up by whitespace or any other special characters  
like &, only by /

When I do curl -XGET  
'localhost:9200/\_analyze?tokenizer=path\_hierarchy&pretty' -d  
'/cars/economy/best price' then it behaves the way I want it to where  
"best price" is not broken up on whitespace. I'm not sure what is wrong.

Below is my code:

curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/myindex' -d ' {  
"settings":{  
"index": {  
"analysis":{  
"analyzer":{  
"analyzer\_taxonomy": {  
"type": "custom",  
"tokenizer": "path\_hierarchy"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
},  
"mappings":{  
"myindex":{  
"properties":{  
"catalog":{  
"properties":{  
"price":{  
"type":"float"  
},  
"name":{  
"type":"string",  
"index":"not\_analyzed"  
},  
"description":{  
"type":"string"  
},  
"taxonomies":{  
"analyzer":"analyzer\_taxonomy",  
"type":"string"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}'

curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/myindex/catalog/1' -d ' {  
"name":"corolla",  
"price":17999,  
"description":"this is a car that is a car that gets you places",  
"taxonomies":"/cars/economy"  
}'

curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/myindex/catalog/2' -d ' {  
"name":"ferrari",  
"price":221500,  
"description":"this is a car that is a quick car",  
"taxonomies":"/cars/ultimate"  
}'

curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/myindex/catalog/3' -d ' {  
"name":"ferrari500",  
"price":521500,  
"description":"this is a car that is fast car!!!",  
"taxonomies":"/cars/ultimate/extreme"  
}'

curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/myindex/catalog/4' -d ' {  
"name":"tercel",  
"price":2500,  
"description":"this is a car that is affordable",  
"taxonomies":"/cars/economy/best price"  
}'

curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/myindex/\_search?pretty' -d ' {  
"size":0,  
"aggs":{  
"stuff":{  
"terms":{  
"field":"taxonomies"  
}  
}  
}  
}'
