Hi, Being a spanish guy, I created my own analyzer for stemming, accents, etc. Now I want to make ES always use this analyzer when indexing my fields, no matter which index or mapping they belong to. After some research, I found that I have to create a provider for my analyzer and then define the following in config/elasticsearch.yml: index: analysis: analyzer: default: type: es.cuestamenos.lucene.analizadores.SpanishAnalyzerProvider Is this correct? Do I need anything else? Will all "properties" in all "mappings" use that analyzer always? Thanks. ---

Yep, this will set the default analyzer used for any field that does not explicitly define an analyzer.
