"simple_query_string" with "default_operator": "AND" doesn't imply "analyzer": "default"

[Luke_Nezda]

Hello, all -

I went to convert some code using query_string to simple_query_string (using "default_operator": "AND" for both) and was surprised to find I needed to explicitly say "analyzer": "default" despite the analyzer documentation for both being identical. I'm not sure if this is a bug but I found it confusing. Reproducible test case below.

Kind regards,
- Luke
