Hi all,

I try to make some tests but unsuccessful.

I try to create an test index:

> curl -XPUT localhost:9200/test -d@index\_template\_test.txt

index-template-test.txt file:

> ```
> {
> "settings" : {
> "analysis": {
> "tokenizer": {
> "custom-pattern-tokenizer": {
> "type": "pattern",
> "pattern": "."
> }
> },
> "analyzer": {
> "custom-analyzer": {
> "type": "custom",
> "tokenizer": "custom-pattern-tokenizer"
> }
> }
> }
>  
> },
> "mappings": {
> "my_type": {
> "properties": {
> "source_host": {
> "type": "string",
> "index": "analyzed",
> "analyzer": "custom-analyzer"
> }
> }
> }
> }
> }
> 
> ```

After, I put data:

> ```
> curl -XPUT localhost:9200/test/my_type/1 -d'
> {
> "source_host" : "mytest-test-1.fr"
> }'
> 
> ```

When I made a global search, I get an answer:

> ```
> curl -XGET localhost:9200/test/_search?pretty
> {
> "took" : 3,
> "timed_out" : false,
> "_shards" : {
> "total" : 5,
> "successful" : 5,
> "failed" : 0
> },
> "hits" : {
> "total" : 1,
> "max_score" : 1.0,
> "hits" : [ {
> "_index" : "test",
> "_type" : "my_type",
> "_id" : "1",
> "_score" : 1.0,
> "_source" : {
> "source_host" : "mytest-test-1.fr"
> }
> } ]
> }
> }
> 
> ```

But when I make a specific search, it returns nothing:

> ```
> curl -XGET localhost:9200/test/my_type/_search?pretty=true -d'
> {
> "query": { 
> "match": {
> "source_host" : "mytest-test-1.fr"
> }
> }
> }'
> {
> "took" : 1,
> "timed_out" : false,
> "_shards" : {
> "total" : 5,
> "successful" : 5,
> "failed" : 0
> },
> "hits" : {
> "total" : 0,
> "max_score" : null,
> "hits" : []
> }
> }
> 
> ```

So I can't make some test with \_analyze right now. Do you have any idea why I can't return a result with this kind of search ?

Result when I try an \_analyze:

> ```
> curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/test/_analyze?pretty&analyzer=custom-analyzer' -d mytest-test-1.fr
> {
> "tokens" : []
> }
> 
> ```

Thanks in advance,  
Alex

After some tests, I don't understand really...

I created an index, and I put data:

> ```
> curl -XPUT localhost:9200/test/my_type/1 -d'
> {
> "source_host": "mytest-test-1.fr"
> }'
> {"_index":"test","_type":"my_type","_id":"1","_version":1,"_shards":{"total":2,"successful":2,"failed":0},"created":true}
> 
> ```

When I retry to make a specific search like below, I get nothing:

> ```
> curl -XGET localhost:9200/test/my_type/_search?pretty -d'
> {
> "query": {
> "term": { "source_host": "mytest-test-1.fr"}
> }
> }'
> {
> "took" : 1,
> "timed_out" : false,
> "_shards" : {
> "total" : 5,
> "successful" : 5,
> "failed" : 0
> },
> "hits" : {
> "total" : 0,
> "max_score" : null,
> "hits" : []
> }
> }
> 
> ```

But with this request, I get result:

> ```
> curl -XGET localhost:9200/test/my_type/_search?pretty&q=source_host:mytest-test-1.fr
> {
> "took" : 4,
> "timed_out" : false,
> "_shards" : {
> "total" : 5,
> "successful" : 5,
> "failed" : 0
> },
> "hits" : {
> "total" : 1,
> "max_score" : 1.0,
> "hits" : [ {
> "_index" : "test",
> "_type" : "my_type",
> "_id" : "1",
> "_score" : 1.0,
> "_source" : {
> "source_host" : "mytest-test-1.fr"
> }
> } ]
> }
> }
> 
> ```

Somebody can explain me why ? I become crazy about that !

Thanks in advance,  
Alex

I found the problem. It was an indexing problem. My custom analyzer doesn't work so my indexation too.

Have a good day.
