I using `(**&(&A` search the text with plugin smartcn, then it can search the result.  
But my wish is it doesn't show the result when using this query. Is there any solutions? Thanks.

my index, type:

```auto
curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/kkk?pretty' -d '{
    "mappings":{
        "ddd":{
            "properties":{
                "publish_content":{
                    "type": "text",
                    "analyzer": "smartcn"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}'

```

the text:

```auto
curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/kkk/ddd/1?pretty&pretty' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
  "publish_content": "12.27日晚上差不多8点多左右，一对夫妇就过来了，说想换台手机。\n\nA\n听说xxx上市了？那xxx大的那个什么时候上市？\n\nB\n这个是这个月底30号上市。"
}
'

```

search:

```auto
curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/kkk/ddd/_search?pretty' -d '{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": [
        {
          "match_phrase": {
            "publish_content": {
              "query": "(**&(&A",
              "analyzer" : "smartcn"
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}'

```

it will show reuslt:

```auto
{
  "took" : 17,
  "timed_out" : false,
  "_shards" : {
    "total" : 5,
    "successful" : 5,
    "failed" : 0
  },
  "hits" : {
    "total" : 1,
    "max_score" : 0.23398489,
    "hits" : [
      {
        "_index" : "kkk",
        "_type" : "ddd",
        "_id" : "1",
        "_score" : 0.23398489,
        "_source" : {
          "publish_content" : "12.27日晚上差不多8点多左右，一对夫妇就过来了，说想换台手机。\n\nA\n听说xxx上市了？那xxx大的那个什么时候上市？\n\nB\n这个是这个月底30号上市。"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

```
