Hi!
I have a document indexed which has field BayesianAnalysers and the field
data is stored as following:
"BayesianAnalysers":[{"Safety":[{"text":"Undecided"}],"Power":[{"text":"Undecided"}],"Freedom":[{"text":"A"}],"Growth":[{"text":"B"}],"Subscribe":[{"text":"Undecided"}],"Desire":[{"text":"Undecided"}],"Intent":[{"text":"B"}],"Sentiment":[{"text":"Undecided"}]
When I run search query or Terms Facet for field values having value "A",
example in the case above, BayesianAnalysers.Freedom.text="A"; it fails to
search however for the field values "B" or "Undecided", it works fine. I
used Java API as well and this results same ☹
Please suggest and let me know if need any additional input.
regards,
surya

If you are using the default Standard analyzer, then "a" is treated as a
stop word and ignored. Another analyzer (perhaps custom) is better suited
for your field.

You changed the analyzer used to analyze the terms in your query, but your
index was still created with the Standard analyzer, therefore the terms do
not exist in your index.
You need to change the analyzer used at index time. The trick to using
Lucene (and therefore elasticsearch) is to ensure that you use the same
analyzer during indexing and searching (not always the case, but in
general).
BTW, you should always reply to the mailing list and not to anyone one
person that replies. There are a ton of smart people on the mailing list
and many of them are eager to help.
Cheers,
Ivan
