Setting up default analyzer using elasticsearch.yml

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
4
  1. I was thinking that perhaps default settings would be applied so I did
    not define those filters, anyway, I left out synonym filter (don't need it
    for now) and the actual elasticsearch.yml looks like this:

index :
analysis :
analyzer :
default_index :
type : custom
tokenizer : whitespace
filter : [word_delimiter, standard, lowercase, edgeNGram]
default_search :
type : custom
tokenizer : whitespace
filter : [word_delimiter, standard, lowercase]
filter :
edgeNGram :
type : edgeNGram
min_gram : 2
max_gram : 15
side : front

  1. I don't see any errors after starting elasticsearch in the log file or
    console (running it with -f).

  2. I don't know whether I am doing reindexing right, I simply delete
    indexes, restart the server, and create indexes again using rails console
    and som Tire commands.

  3. I was playing with analyze API for quite some time, but I don't seem to
    get the right results, it seems that my analyzer does not have effect, or
    is not being loaded or I just don't know how to us analyze API :).
    Basically I tried it this way:

Probably wrong approach, because analyzer default_search or default_index
were not found (might this indicate they are not being loaded from .yml??):
curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/_analyze?analyzer=default_search' -d 'testing
string'
curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/_analyze?analyzer=default_index' -d 'testing
string'

Then I tried it like this, and it seemed to have used the standard analyzer.
curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/_analyze?analyzer=default' -d 'testing string'

I really don't know what I might be possibly doing wrong :).

Where are synonym and edgeNGram filters defined?
Do you see any errors in the log file when you start elasticsearch?
Did you reindex all records after changing the analyzer?
Did you try using _analyze command to see if your analyzer is having
effect?
