Trying to build a faceted search that works like a charm, except for my locations_path

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi guys,
I have been trying to build a faceted search and it works pretty well so
far. There is just one problem that I have been struggling with in the last
few days.

It is a multinational jobsearch and the jobs are categorized under a
country and a state. I want to be able to search for different states in
different countries (It could happen in the EU, where some people would be
interested to work abroad in a neighboring district).

So what I tried out was this tutorial
http://www.springyweb.com/2012/01/hierarchical-faceting-with-elastic.html .
I skipped the part with the new tokenizer, as I don't care about the number
of the level.

Unfortunately it didn't work. The fields seems to get tokenized, since when
I search for regexp "44" it finds /44/10, if I search for "10" it finds
/44/10, but if I search for "/44" or "44.*" I get 0 hits.

Then I removed the path_tokenizer and tried to work with a not_analyzed
string, hoping that it would do the job, but again it didn't work out.

What am I doing wrong? This is the mapping: The field is locations_path

Another strange thing that I see, is that if the field is mapped like a
"string", I am not able to find anything on it. Neither can I do facets. If
it is a multi_field, I get facets and results.

That's something that the documentation didn't say, that's why I think that
I have other errors in the setup. But the documentation doesn't say
anything on that topic as well, so I don't know what it is.
