Hello,  
I am having some trouble with getting the phrase\_prefix search working with  
the \_id field. Here is my example:

#Reset the index  
DELETE /profile-101

#Mapping creation  
PUT /profile-101  
{  
"mappings": {  
"profile": {  
"properties": {  
"full-name" : {  
"type": "string"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

#Document creation  
POST /profile-101/profile/nickname/  
{  
"full-name" : "Ajinkya Apte"  
}

_Issue:_

1. When I do:  
GET /profile-101/profile/\_search  
{  
"query" : {  
"match" : {  
"full-name" : {  
"query" : "Ajin",  
"type" : "phrase\_prefix"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
I get the result correctly;

However when I do something similar for the \_id field it does not work

GET /profile-101/profile/\_search  
{  
"query" : {  
"match" : {  
"\_id" : {  
"query" : "nic",  
"type" : "phrase\_prefix"  
}  
}  
}  
}

I am probably missing something here, can someone please point me in the  
right direction?  
I eventually want to combine the two queries using multi\_match but first  
want to figure out the correct way to run a phrase\_prefix query on the \_id  
field:  
GET /profile-101/profile/\_search  
{  
"query" : {  
"multi\_match" : {  
"query": "User query",  
"type": "phrase\_prefix",  
"fields": ["\_id", "full-name"],  
"tie\_breaker": 0.3  
}  
}  
}

Thanks,  
AJ
