Hi,

I am unable to search few key words though i set language analyzer.  
Example : mountains. It is not returning mountain.

Let me know if i miss some thing here ?

{  
"settings": {  
"analysis" : {  
"analyzer" : {  
"my\_analyzer" : {  
"tokenizer" : "standard",  
"filter" : ["standard", "lowercase", "my\_stemmer"]  
}  
},  
"filter" : {  
"my\_stemmer" : {  
"type" : "stemmer",  
"name" : "english"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

Suggest me how to implement this ?

I queried back with below request.

{  
"query":{  
"bool":{  
"must":[  
{  
"query\_string":{  
"default\_field":"\_all",  
"query":"mountains\*",  
"analyzer":"my\_analyzer"  
}  
}  
]  
}  
}  
}
