Hello,

I'm starting to use ES but I'm having some problems with the initial  
configuration. I'll be indexing and searching through elements in spanish  
and reading I found out that a possible solution it's to use snowball with  
the language set to Spanish.

The current configuration file I'm using is:

> <https://gist.github.com/ulizama/1127796>

ES starts up correctly, but when I create an index the settings don't seem  
to stick:

[http://localhost:9200/testing/\_settings](http://localhost:9200/testing/_settings)

{"testing":{"settings":{"index.number\_of\_shards":"5","index.number\_of\_replicas":"1"}}}

From what I understand I should be able to see the filters configured on the  
index.

Then if I run the analyzer even stranger things happen:

curl -XGET  
'[http://127.0.0.1:9200/testing/\_analyze?pretty=1&text=d�a+soleado](http://127.0.0.1:9200/testing/_analyze?pretty=1&text=d%EDa+soleado)'

# [Fri Aug 5 10:39:18 2011] Response:

# {

# "tokens" : [

# {

# "end\_offset" : 3,

# "position" : 1,

# "start\_offset" : 0,

# "type" : "word",

# "token" : "d�a"

# },

# {

# "end\_offset" : 11,

# "position" : 2,

# "start\_offset" : 4,

# "type" : "word",

# "token" : "sol"

# }

# ]

# }

The word 'soleado' for some reason gets chopped, and well the search returns  
no results, so I figure I'm having a problem with my indexer, hope you can  
give me some directions on what I may be doing wrong.

Thanks
