Hello,

I'm having problem with indexing (or searching ?) for the word "no".  
I have some pseudo tweets in the base and I can search for "na" or  
"nt" for example but but for "no".

The request is :

{  
"query":  
{  
"term":  
{"message":"no"}  
}  
}

Is "no" a reserved keyword ?

Regards.

Its a default stopword, so during analysis of a field, it gets removed. You can either create an analyzer that has no stop words, or even have the field non analyzed.
