problem is solved.  
Another problem about SpanNotQuery.  
query:  
{  
"query":  
{  
"span\_not" : {  
"include" : {  
"span\_term" : { "message" : "trying" }  
},  
"exclude" : {  
"span\_term" : { "message" : "search2" }  
}  
}  
}  
}  
I want exclude search2 from the result, but it seems span\_not does not take effect, the query returns all results.
