Hi Guys,

For some reason when I do the following Phrase Match query I do not get any  
results does anyone mind explaining why this is happening?

Below one can find the mapping and query being used

"settings": {

So I did some more digging into the problem and apparently the problem is  
not with the Phase Query but with the Analyser being user on the \_all  
field. When an Analyser is specified no results are returned but when I  
omit the Analyser I get the expected results.

So the question is what is exactly happening internally on the \_all field  
is it using the standard analyser? is it not analysed?
