Hello, The documentation at [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-put-mapping.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-put-mapping.html) is a little sparse on details. Where can I find documentation for the options/parameters that put mapping takes? E.g. store, analyze, and just a list of what other options there are. Specifically, I have some large data properties I want to store and retrieve with results, but not have them indexed for search. So help with that would be great. Thank you & best regards, - Daniel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hello Alex, To take the example from that page: $ curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/\_mapping](http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/_mapping)' -d ' { "tweet" : { "properties" : { "message" : {"type" : "string", // What can go here?? // I've seen "analyzer", "store", "enabled" used in passing in examples without explanation. // Somewhere there must be a list of these! What they mean, and what the supported values are. } } } } ' > Specifically, I have some large data properties I want to store and retrieve with results, but not have them indexed for search. So help with that would be great. I think "enabled" might fit this. Best regards, - Daniel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Daniel, Hariharan's link does cover all those topics. The putting mapping api just describes how to put a mapping. 🙂 The documentation for the actual mappings is in its own section. > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI.
