How would you disable the ngramming of the query term: "match": {"username.ngram": "linus" the indexer: "tokenizer": {"customNgram": {"type": "nGram", "min\_gram": 3, "max\_gram": 5} I don't want hits for lin, inu, nus as in Xinus but I do want hits for tlinustorvalds In other words - I don't what the query term "linus" to be broken down to [4-2]-grams Thanks very much. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

In [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-match-query.html:](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-match-query.html:) The analyzer can be set to control which analyzer will perform the analysis process on the text. It default to the field explicit mapping definition, or the default search analyzer. Also you can define in your mapping a different analyzer for indexing and searching: [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping-core-types.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping-core-types.html) index\_analyzer The analyzer used to analyze the text contents when analyzed during indexing. search\_analyzer The analyzer used to analyze the field when part of a query string. Can be updated on an existing field. -- David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 15 mars 2014 à 00:08, [ymous.anon1234@gmail.com](mailto:ymous.anon1234@gmail.com) a écrit : How would you disable the ngramming of the query term: "match": {"username.ngram": "linus" the indexer: "tokenizer": {"customNgram": {"type": "nGram", "min\_gram": 3, "max\_gram": 5} I don't want hits for lin, inu, nus as in Xinus but I do want hits for tlinustorvalds In other words - I don't what the query term "linus" to be broken down to [4-2]-grams ## Thanks very much.
