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](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 > { "vacancy": { "index\_analyzer": "indexAnalyzer", "search\_analyzer": "searchAnalyzer", "\_boost": { "name": "\_boost", "null\_value": 1 }, "properties": { "vId": { "type": "integer", "include\_in\_all": false }, "title": { "type": "string", "include\_in\_all": true }, "teaser": { "type": "string", "include\_in\_all": true }, "keywords": { "type": "multi\_field", "include\_in\_all": true }, "completion": { "type": "completion", "analyzer": "standard" }, "description": { "type": "string", "include\_in\_all": true }, "company": { "type": "multi\_field", "include\_in\_all": true }, "company\_id": { "type": "multi\_field", "include\_in\_all": false }, "workingSchedule": { "type": "object", "properties": { "de": { "type": "string", "include\_in\_all": true }, "ch": { "type": "string", "include\_in\_all": true }, "pl": { "type": "string", "include\_in\_all": true } } }, "careerPosition": { "type": "object", "properties": { "de": { "type": "string", "include\_in\_all": true }, "ch": { "type": "string", "include\_in\_all": true }, "pl": { "type": "string", "include\_in\_all": true } } }, "jobExperience": { "type": "object", "properties": { "de": { "type": "string", "include\_in\_all": true }, "ch": { "type": "string", "include\_in\_all": true }, "pl": { "type": "string", "include\_in\_all": true } } }, "seniority": { "type": "object", "properties": { "de": { "type": "string", "include\_in\_all": true }, "ch": { "type": "string", "include\_in\_all": true }, "pl": { "type": "string", "include\_in\_all": true } } }, "subjects": { "type": "multi\_field", "include\_in\_all": false }, "subjects\_fulltext": { "type": "object", "properties": { "de": { "type": "multi\_field", "include\_in\_all": true }, "ch": { "type": "multi\_field", "include\_in\_all": true }, "pl": { "type": "multi\_field", "include\_in\_all": true } } }, "locations\_path": { "type": "string", "include\_in\_all": false, "index": "not\_analyzed" }, "locations": { "type": "multi\_field", "include\_in\_all": false }, "locations\_fulltext": { "type": "multi\_field", "include\_in\_all": true }, "categories": { "type": "multi\_field", "include\_in\_all": false }, "categories\_fulltext": { "type": "object", "properties": { "de": { "type": "multi\_field", "include\_in\_all": true }, "ch": { "type": "multi\_field", "include\_in\_all": true }, "pl": { "type": "multi\_field", "include\_in\_all": true } } }, "careerPosition\_id": { "type": "multi\_field", "include\_in\_all": false }, "workingSchedule\_id": { "type": "multi\_field", "include\_in\_all": false }, "jobExperience\_id": { "type": "multi\_field", "include\_in\_all": false }, "seniority\_id": { "type": "multi\_field", "include\_in\_all": false } } } } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

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. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
