Hi All,

I think there's been a problem with the english analyzer since I upgraded  
to v0.18.4.

It looks like the stemming is being done for query strings, but not when  
indexing data.

Here is a gist recreation:

Have I got it right?

Cheers,  
Chris

This might relate to a problem with the \_all field and setting a default  
analyzer. It has been fixed in 0.18 branch (and upcoming 0.18.5), can you  
give it a go?

Just double checked and it seems to be fixed (based on your gist) in 0.18,  
and will be part of 0.18.5.

Thanks Shay,

Just built the 0.18 branch (at commit 194106), and it worked.

Other problems I'd noticed with queries sometimes (not always) failing  
with 500 also disappeared.

Cheers,  
Chris
