Please let me know what I'm doing wrong or where to look/debug.

1. I git cloned [https://github.com/asyncee/elasticsearch-russian-config/](https://github.com/asyncee/elasticsearch-russian-config/)
2. Downloaded elasticsearch-1.4.2 and copied bin and lib into the same dir.
3. Installed [https://github.com/imotov/elasticsearch-analysis-morphology](https://github.com/imotov/elasticsearch-analysis-morphology) 1.2

Run it.

Now looks like I have russian analyzer, at least this test gives correct  
tokens:

curl -XGET "[http://localhost:9200/\_analyze?analyzer=russian&text=Веселые%20истории%20про%20котят](http://localhost:9200/_analyze?analyzer=russian&text=%D0%92%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8B%D0%B5%20%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B8%20%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%BE%20%D0%BA%D0%BE%D1%82%D1%8F%D1%82)"

...But then I create an index:

curl -XPOST "[http://localhost:9200/blog2](http://localhost:9200/blog2)" -d'  
{  
"settings": {  
"analysis": {  
"filter": {  
"ru\_stop": {  
"type": "stop",  
"stopwords": "_russian_"  
},  
"ru\_stemmer": {  
"type": "stemmer",  
"language": "russian"  
}  
},  
"analyzer": {  
"default": {  
"char\_filter": [  
"html\_strip"  
],  
"tokenizer": "standard",  
"filter": [  
"lowercase",  
"ru\_stop",  
"ru\_stemmer"  
]  
}  
}  
}  
},  
"mappings": {  
"post": {  
"properties": {  
"content": {  
"type": "string"  
},  
"published\_at": {  
"type": "date",  
"format": "dateOptionalTime"  
},  
"tags": {  
"type": "string",  
"index": "not\_analyzed"  
},  
"title": {  
"type": "string"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}'

And insert the record:  
curl -XPUT "[http://localhost:9200/blog2/post/2](http://localhost:9200/blog2/post/2)" -d'  
{  
"title": "Веселые щенки",  
"content": "

Смешная история про щенков

",  
"tags": [  
"щенки",  
"смешная история"  
],  
"published\_at": "2014-08-12T20:44:42+00:00"  
}'

Now I can find it with  
-\> POST [http://localhost:9200/blog2/post/\_search](http://localhost:9200/blog2/post/_search)  
{  
"query": {  
"match": {  
"title": "щенки"  
}  
}  
}

But not if I provide a single "щенок" instead of the plural "щенки".

So, basically, the morphology doesn't work.

P.S. I'm kind of new to elasticsearch.

I think you need "type": "custom" inside "analyzer": {"default":{}}.

Hi Nikolas,

That didn't help.

For brewity, here's the log of what I'm doing:

curl -XDELETE "[http://localhost:9200/blog](http://localhost:9200/blog)"

curl -XPOST "[http://localhost:9200/blog](http://localhost:9200/blog)" -d'  
{  
"settings": {  
"analysis": {  
"filter": {  
"ru\_stop": {  
"type": "stop",  
"stopwords": "_russian_"  
},  
"ru\_stemmer": {  
"type": "stemmer",  
"language": "russian"  
}  
},  
"analyzer": {  
"default": {  
"type": "custom",  
"char\_filter": [  
"html\_strip"  
],  
"tokenizer": "standard",  
"filter": [  
"lowercase",  
"ru\_stop",  
"ru\_stemmer"  
]  
}  
}  
}  
},  
"mappings": {  
"post": {  
"properties": {  
"content": {  
"type": "string"  
},  
"published\_at": {  
"type": "date",  
"format": "dateOptionalTime"  
},  
"title": {  
"type": "string"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}'

curl -XPUT "[http://localhost:9200/blog/post/1](http://localhost:9200/blog/post/1)" -d'  
{  
"title": "Веселые щенки",  
"content": "

Смешная история про щенков

",  
"published\_at": "2014-08-12T20:44:42+00:00"  
}'

curl -XPOST "[http://localhost:9200/blog/post/\_search](http://localhost:9200/blog/post/_search)" -d'  
{  
"query": {  
"match": {  
"title": "щенок"  
}  
}  
}'

Returns nothing (morphology doesn't work).

Config: [https://github.com/asyncee/elasticsearch-russian-config/blob/master/config/elasticsearch.yml](https://github.com/asyncee/elasticsearch-russian-config/blob/master/config/elasticsearch.yml)  
Elasticsearch: 1.4.2.

P.S. The index is created according to a tutorial, kind of unsure if the  
settings are correct.
