Search query / analyzer issue dealing with spaces

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello, I am trying to run a query that distinguishes between spaces in
values. Let's say I have a field called 'color' in my index. Record 1 has
"color" : "metallic red" whereas Record 2 has "color": "metallic"

I want to search for 'metallic' but NOT retrieve 'metallic red', and a
search for 'metallic red' should not return 'red'.

The query below works for 'metallic red' but entering 'red' returns both
records. The query also appears to be bypassing Analyzers specified in the
mappings (such as keyword) as they have no affect. What should I change it
to instead?

//Query
GET /myindex/_search
{
"query": {
"match_phrase": {
"color": "metallic red"
}
}
}

//Data
{ "index" : { "_index" : "myindex", "_type" : "car", "_id" : "1" } }
{ "color" : "metallic red" }
{ "index" : { "_index" : "myindex", "_type" : "car", "_id" : "2" } }
{ "color" : "Metallic RED"}
{ "index" : { "_index" : "myindex", "_type" : "car", "_id" : "3" } }
{ "color" : "rEd" }

//Mapping (no effect for query)
curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/myindex/' -d '{
"settings" : {
"analysis": {
"analyzer": {
"my_analyzer":{
"type": "custom",
"tokenizer" : "keyword",
"lowercase" : true
}
}
},
"mappings" : {
"episode" : {
"_source" : { "enabled" : false },
"properties" : {
"color" : { "type" : "string", "analyzer" : "not_analyzed" }
}
}
}
}
}'

Thanks!

There is no "analyzer" : "not_analyzed", it must be "index" :
"not_analyzed".

Or you can set the analyzer "keyword" in the mapping.

Like this:

Actually, there are two problems here. Change the analyzer to the name of
your custom analyzer and you are missing a curly brace to close out the
"settings" property. Not sure why it doesn't cause an error but it
definitely doesn't create a mapping. You can check if there is a mapping by
looking at: http://localhost:9200/myindex/_mapping

Here is how it should be:

{
"settings": {
"analysis": {
"analyzer": {
"my_analyzer": {
"type": "custom",
"tokenizer": "keyword",
"lowercase": true
}
}
}
},
"mappings": {
"episode": {
"_source": {
"enabled": false
},
"properties": {
"color": {
"type": "string",
"index": "not_analyzed"
}
}
}
}
}

Actually, change it to "index": "not_analyzed" as shown in the JSON.

Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately the analyzer portion is not the
problem (I pasted the original text in the midst of experimentation). When
I had "analyzer" : "my_analyzer" in the mapping it didn't make a
difference. I get results from the analysis query below so I assume it was
configured properly:
GET /myindex/_analyze?analyzer=my_analyzer

However, it does not seem to make a difference between using my custom
"my_analyzer" or using "keyword", or even using "index" : "not_analyzed".
In each case, if I search for "red" I get back all results when in fact I
only want 1.

Perhaps my query is the problem?

Jarrod,

I understand that you think the analyzer is not the problem. However, the
original mapping wasn't correctly formatted so the color type was being
analyzed using the default analyzer which would also cause the query to use
the default analyzer as well. If you fix the syntax and then change color
to use your analyzer it will work. One note, your mapping is also incorrect
in that it references the "episode" type when you're actually adding data
to the "car" type. Using your analyzer, it would be indexed as one lower
case string. Now, your query does make a difference but if you have the
analyzer set correctly, it will analyze the input string using the same
analyzer that you set in the mapping. You would be better off just doing a
term query or filter.

Thanks Mike, it appears referencing the 'episode' instead of 'car' from a
previous example was the problem. That seems to have progressed me further
however my queries are still case sensitive despite lowercase being true.
Allow me to repost what I have for clarity. Thanks

Jarod,

The format of your analyzer is wrong. Note that you have to set the filter
property. Use this:

{
"settings": {
"analysis": {
"analyzer": {
"my_analyzer": {
"type": "custom",
"tokenizer": "keyword",
"filter": "lowercase"
}
}
}
},
"mappings": {
"car": {
"properties": {
"color": {
"type": "string",
"analyzer": "my_analyzer"
}
}
}
}
}

Jarrod,

I understand that you think the analyzer is not the problem. However, the
original mapping wasn't correctly formatted so the color type was being
analyzed using the default analyzer which would also cause the query to use
the default analyzer as well. If you fix the syntax and then change color
to use your analyzer it will work. One note, your mapping is also incorrect
in that it references the "episode" type when you're actually adding data
to the "car" type. Using your analyzer, it would be indexed as one lower
case string. Now, your query does make a difference but if you have the
analyzer set correctly, it will analyze the input string using the same
analyzer that you set in the mapping. You would be better off just doing a
term query or filter.

Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately the analyzer portion is not the
problem (I pasted the original text in the midst of experimentation). When
I had "analyzer" : "my_analyzer" in the mapping it didn't make a
difference. I get results from the analysis query below so I assume it was
configured properly:
GET /myindex/_analyze?analyzer=my_analyzer

However, it does not seem to make a difference between using my custom
"my_analyzer" or using "keyword", or even using "index" : "not_analyzed".
In each case, if I search for "red" I get back all results when in fact I
only want 1.

Perhaps my query is the problem?

definitely doesn't create a mapping. You can check if there is a mapping by
looking at: http://localhost:9200/myindex/_mapping

Here is how it should be:

Hello, I am trying to run a query that distinguishes between spaces
in values. Let's say I have a field called 'color' in my index. Record 1
has "color" : "metallic red" whereas Record 2 has "color": "metallic"

I want to search for 'metallic' but NOT retrieve 'metallic red', and
a search for 'metallic red' should not return 'red'.

The query below works for 'metallic red' but entering 'red' returns
both records. The query also appears to be bypassing Analyzers specified
in the mappings (such as keyword) as they have no affect. What should I
change it to instead?

//Query
GET /myindex/_search
{
"query": {
"match_phrase": {
"color": "metallic red"
}
}
}

//Data
{ "index" : { "_index" : "myindex", "_type" : "car", "_id" : "1" } }
{ "color" : "metallic red" }
{ "index" : { "_index" : "myindex", "_type" : "car", "_id" : "2" } }
{ "color" : "Metallic RED"}
{ "index" : { "_index" : "myindex", "_type" : "car", "_id" : "3" } }
{ "color" : "rEd" }

//Mapping (no effect for query)
curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/myindex/' -d '{
"settings" : {
"analysis": {
"analyzer": {
"my_analyzer":{
"type": "custom",
"tokenizer" : "keyword",
"lowercase" : true
}
}
},
"mappings" : {
"episode" : {
"_source" : { "enabled" : false },
"properties" : {
"color" : { "type" : "string", "analyzer" :
"not_analyzed" }
}
}
}
}
}'

Thanks!

Excellent! That works perfectly. Thank you very much Mike.

Jarod,

The format of your analyzer is wrong. Note that you have to set the filter
property. Use this:

{
"settings": {
"analysis": {
"analyzer": {
"my_analyzer": {
"type": "custom",
"tokenizer": "keyword",
"filter": "lowercase"
}
}
}
},
"mappings": {
"car": {
"properties": {
"color": {
"type": "string",
"analyzer": "my_analyzer"
}
}
}
}
}

Thanks Mike, it appears referencing the 'episode' instead of 'car' from a
previous example was the problem. That seems to have progressed me further
however my queries are still case sensitive despite lowercase being true.
Allow me to repost what I have for clarity. Thanks
