Is there any reason a newly created index, which is exactly the same as the original one, wouldn't be filtering out stopwords?

Reindexing locally like this:

> POST \_reindex  
> {  
> "source": {"index" : "data-live"},  
> "dest": {"index": "data-live2"}  
> }

Followed by:

> POST data-live2/\_forcemerge

Reindexing doesn't copy the index settings and mapping. That is usually why things like this happen.

The new index has the same settings and mapping, the only difference being: a new analyzer field was added in the new mapping.

Shouldn't reindexing still include the stopwords filter on the analyzer existing in both indices?
