Hi,  
I have the following document mapping:  
{  
"asset": {  
"properties": {  
"name": {  
"analyzer": "keyword",  
"store": true,  
"type": "string"  
},  
"id": {  
"index": "not\_analyzed",  
"type": "string"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
Notice the _keyword_ analyzer - the name _will contain whitespace_ - and so  
I need it not to be tokenized but instead treated as a single token.

Here's a sample document (I removed some of the details for conciseness):  
{  
"\_index": "local\_defaultorg\_asset",  
"\_type": "asset",  
"\_id": "jvMXDQYuSkqml3\_QNfP\_Gg",  
"\_score": 1,  
"\_source": {  
"id": null,  
"name": "yLYNQU ywYXzS",  
}  
}

Now, I'm running the following query (generated by Spring Data, so I don't  
have a lot of control over it):  
{  
"from": 0,  
"query": {  
"bool": {  
"must": {  
"query\_string": {  
"query": "yLYNQU ywYXzS",  
"fields": [  
"name"  
]  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

But, unfortunately, I'm getting no results.  
In a similar situation but without the whitespace, everything looks good  
and the query's able to find my document.  
Am I missing anything on the mapping side?  
Thanks,  
Eugen.

I believe that the query\_string has its own syntax that assumes  
tokenization and other preprocessing.

Maybe if you added name: to the query? But I am not sure how you would tell  
the query string that your phrase is really one token.

But, thanks for giving me one more reason to avoid Spring!
