I have added whitespace analyzer to template field as follows:

"payload":{  
"type":"text",  
"analyzer":"whitespace"  
}

The problem is that I cannot search data using match query from that "payload" field.

Did I do something wrong?

Thank you in advance.

Could you provide a full recreation script as described in [About the Elasticsearch category](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21). It will help to better understand what you are doing. Please, try to keep the example as simple as possible.

A full reproduction script will help readers to understand, reproduce and if needed fix your problem. It will also most likely help to get a faster answer.
