Treat "Dot" as a normal character in query_string query

How can I treat the Dot '.' as the normal character in the query_string, as I want to search "www.google.com" as the whole string in the query_string, the current results for me are so strange..

Hello Curt ,

I believe you are chasing the wrong solution.
I feel what you need is something in the analyzer rather than search query.
Can you paste the output you are seeing.

Thanks

Yeah, Thanks

It's kind of the strange results for me.
What I am doing is just a simple query_string query with a specific field, let's call that "domain".
If I do the query_string "www.google.com", I got like 10k results, looks good, since the "domain" field in the results are all "www.google.com" (I have not checked the total 10k results, I just randomly pick some), and if I changed to some bad strings like "www.abcdefg.com", then I got 0 hits, also good. But if I search something else like "www.loyal3.com", here are strange: I returned like 40k results, some of them the domain field is "www.loyal3.com", some are no any relationship, like "eatmywords365.com".

So, how does query_string query treat the dot? Or there are something else wrong?

Helli Curt ,

I believe the issue is as follows -

If you havnt done anything with the analyzer , the default behavior is as
follows -

When www.google.com is indexed its tokenized into [ "www" , "google" ,
"com" ]
and stored.
Same is applied when you search so if a document have either of www ,
google , com , then its a match.
So you wont mostly get what you want.

You need to do some tweaking in the analyzers to add this feature.

Thanks
Vineeth

Thanks very much, I have not done anything to analyzer, should use default.
So as you said.
"When www.google.com is indexed its tokenized into [ "www" , "google" , "com" ]
and stored.
Same is applied when you search so if a document have either of www , google , com , then its a match.

Then my question is why my query on "www.abcde.com" doesn't give any hits, at least I have "www", "com" here and and should got hits for "www" and "com".
