Hi All, Could someone please help me on writing query for getting results based on the case insensitive values provided for a particular. For this i don't want to change my mapping file, because my mapping file very huge and will be built dynamically, so i don't know which field i need to change for analyzer. Thanks, Ram Prasad G ---

Hi All, I am able to search the documents with custom analyzer by using query match. But is this possible with query terms also. Thanks, GRP ---
