Hey folks,

I spent my afternoon trying to have a field not analyzed with whitespaces.

I want to index a payment status : Not Paid / Paid, that field must not be  
tokenized.

So, here is my mapping (really basic):  
"label" -\> Map("type" -\> "string", "index" -\> "not\_analyzed", "search" -\>  
"not\_analyzed", "store" -\> "yes")

The following queries work fine, I got my 2 entries:  
{  
"bool" : {  
"must" : {  
"dis\_max" : {  
"tie\_breaker" : 0.7,  
"queries" : [ {  
"field" : {  
"statuses.payment.label" : "Paid"  
}  
}, {  
"field" : {  
"user\_code\_analysis" : {  
"query" : "Paid",  
"boost" : 1.2  
}  
}  
} ]  
}  
}  
}  
}

If I want to do the exact same thing with "Not Paid" instead of Paid :  
{  
"bool" : {  
"must" : {  
"dis\_max" : {  
"tie\_breaker" : 0.7,  
"queries" : [ {  
"field" : {  
"statuses.payment.label" : "Not Paid"  
}  
}, {  
"field" : {  
"user\_code\_analysis" : {  
"query" : "Not Paid",  
"boost" : 1.2  
}  
}  
} ]  
}  
}  
}  
}

The query returns 0 result (normally 1 entry), if I indexed "NotPaid" as a  
status instead of "Not Paid", I've got my entry.

So my issue comes from the whitespace. Am I missing something? Do I need to  
analyze the field?

PS: my mapping is applied, if I execute \_mapping I can see :  
...  
"payment": {  
"properties": {  
....  
"label": {  
"type": "string",  
"index": "not\_analyzed",  
"store": "yes"  
}  
}  
},

thanks for your help

Hi,

Field Query is Query String Query .  
"query" is parsed by query parser.

You try to use Term Query instead of Field Query.
