Hi!

I have updated analyzer setting in index template from "standard" to "simple" to change processing of text fields in my indexes. I have rolling indexes, new index being created every week, and at least a couple of new indexes have been created since the index template update. When I get the the new indexes, the analyzer setting is set to "simple", which would indicate that the change has taken effect. Yet, when I search the new indexes the results suggest that the text fields are still being analyzed with standard analyzer. What am I missing? Any tips would be very much appreciated.

Hello @malgi,

Welcome to our discuss forum! In order to help you better, could you paste the relevant part of your template, an example document and your query?

Also, please describe the expected behavior and why you think the `simple` analyzer is behaving like the `standard` analyzer.

Cheers,  
Luiz
