Hi,

How do I add snowball analyzer to search query:

url:

[http://localhost:9200/pinterestpin/pin/\_search](http://localhost:9200/pinterestpin/pin/_search)

query:  
{

"query": {

```
"text": {

  "description": {

    "query": "eat"

  }

}

```

}

}

Thanks,

Ophir

Hi Ophir

> How do I add snowball analyzer to search query:

You need to use the snowball analyzer both at index time and at query  
time, otherwise the terms that you are searching for won't exist in the  
same form in the index.

Have you followed the instructions on this page?
