Hello, I have a problem with searching from document contets. I 've been using Elasticsearch 1.7.3, but now I want to start using the most newest version (2.2.1). I installed new version of ES, installed mapper-attachments plugin. No errors, service started and all feels ok. I made little mapping to test it out. ``` PUT test_index { "settings": { "number_of_shards": 2, "number_of_replicas": 0 }, "mappings": { "testfile": { "dynamic": "strict", "_source": { "enabled": true }, "properties": { "fileId": { "type": "integer", "store": true }, "contents": { "type": "attachment" } } } } } ``` After indexing the document with contents "hello world" and making match\_all query the results looks like this: ``` { "took": 2, "timed_out": false, "_shards": { "total": 2, "successful": 2, "failed": 0 }, "hits": { "total": 1, "max_score": 1, "hits": [ { "_index": "test_index", "_type": "testfile", "_id": "AVO3TKC2-BSsruK6CY8T", "_score": 1, "_source": { "fileId": 101, "contents": "aGVsbG8gd29ybGQ=" } } ] } } ``` If I'll try to search word "hello" with phrase search, it doesn't work. No results are returned. The phrase search looks like this: ``` POST test_index/_search { "from": 0, "size": 1000, "fields": [ "fileId" ], "query": { "bool": { "must": [ { "match": { "contents": { "query": "hello", "type": "phrase" } } } ] } } } ``` Previous versions of ES and mapper-attachments worked fine. Also there's no errors in log. Can someone help me to figure it out? Thanks in advance! ---

As you can see from the result of your match\_all query, the document _clearly_ wasn't posted with "contents": "hello world". How are you indexing your sample document? ---

Well, it's base64 encoded as mapper-attachment plugin demands. ---

Ah, sorry. I somehow missed that crucial bit. Which took some pretty solid of selective reading, I grant you. Just to check a few basic things: Are you installing the plug-in by: ```auto bin/plugin install mapper-attachments ``` on every node, and restarting the nodes? Meanwhile, trying to reproduce your results. ---

I'm trying it out in my local computer and I have only 1 node. And yes, I'm installing plugin in the way you mentioned. Also I'm using 64-bit Windows 10 and have Java 1.8.0u74 installed. I have configured attachment plugin to index all characters in elasticsearch.yml: `index.mapping.attachment.indexed_chars: -1`, but I guess that's not causing problems. Is there a way to enable mapper-attachments logging in logging.yml configuration file? ---

I was able to reproduce what you are observing, but I'm not going to have time today to go back and see whether the query works on 1.7.3. I also confirmed that this query _does_ return your document: POST /test\_index/\_search { "query": { "query\_string": { "query": "hello" } } } Seems like maybe a behavior change between the versions. Could be worth filing a github issue. ---

Ok, I filed an github issue [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/17359](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/17359). Thanks for your help! ---
