Hi,

We are trying to use a snowball analyzer and applying a filter on our search queries. The filters seems to work only for numeric fields but not for string fields. These filters seem to work fine with the standard analyzer.

You can refer the code in this gist - [https://gist.github.com/2355404](https://gist.github.com/2355404)

Any help would be appreciated.
