I have a mapping as below. The text field below is actually an array of different values of different word length.

> {  
> "docs": {  
> "mappings": {  
> "doc": {  
> "properties": {  
> "name": {  
> "type": "text",  
> "fields": {  
> "length": {  
> "type": "token\_count",  
> "analyzer": "standard"  
> }  
> }  
> }  
> }  
> }  
> }  
> }  
> }

If i have many values in the "name" array, i have multiple "length" values generated by token\_count field.

On querying with name="John Walker" and name.length=3, it still gives results. That is because there is another name called "Bishop Rook Knight" in it.

How do i maintain correlation between name and length ?
