Hi All,

I need to update the properties of index field as ''true" of noteText. I believe because of this "\_all" query is not retrieving the value from that field.

Please share you opinions and ideas for this.

Thank you.

{  
"Index":{  
"mappings": {  
"Type": {  
"properties": {  
"auth": {  
"properties": {  
"authNotes":{  
"properties":  
{  
"noteText":{  
"type":"keyword"  
"index": false,  
"doc\_values": false  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

You will need to reindex.
