I put content in elasticsearch without define the index setting. It seems by default elasticsearch isn't using the default analyzer I defined in elasticsearch.yml. index.analysis.analyzer.default.type: ik If I request: [http://localhost:9200/useridx/\_search?q=Lin](http://localhost:9200/useridx/_search?q=Lin) it doesn't using the default analyzer _Could some one help me make the default analyzer ik when querying?_ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
