Hi,

I'm trying to make a query like this:

```
steel* OR (tokenizedCusAttrIdValue:29,steel*) OR

```

(tokenizedCusAttrIdValue:33,steel\*) OR (tokenizedCusAttrIdValue:  
34,steel\*) OR (tokenizedCusAttrIdValue:65000088,steel\*))

In QueryStringQuery, with the default operator set to AND.

It appears that the phrases like this "tokenizedCusAttrIdValue:  
29,steel\*" are not being picked up. The analyser is the default  
analyser, will comma count as a stop word or will it count in the  
query?

Best Regards,

David.

You can take a look at what the analyzer does via the index analyze API.  
This can be accessed via curl like this:

curl -XGET 'localhost:9200//\_analyze?text=29,steel\*'

Running this returns something like:

{  
"tokens" : [ {  
"token" : "29",  
"start\_offset" : 0,  
"end\_offset" : 2,  
"type" : "",  
"position" : 1  
}, {  
"token" : "steel",  
"start\_offset" : 3,  
"end\_offset" : 8,  
"type" : "",  
"position" : 2  
} ]  
}

Which means that your text is analyzed into 2 tokens only (i.e. '29' and  
'steel') by the default analyzer. See  
[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/admin-indices-analyze.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/admin-indices-analyze.html) for  
more details on the analyzer API.
