I have both 'title' and 'name' fields that are objects and can contain  
multiple locales, i.e.

"title": {  
"properties": {  
"en": {  
...  
},  
"es" :{  
...  
}  
}  
}

"name": {  
"properties": {  
"en": {  
...  
},  
"es" :{  
...  
}  
}  
}

If I do a search on the English title field:

{  
"from" : 0,  
"size" : 20,  
"query" : {  
"query\_string" : {  
"query" : "title.en:elastic"  
}  
}  
}

I am getting a match on the 'name' field. When I look at the translated  
Lucene query in Inquistor it translates to:

en:demo

Why is it removing the 'title' field from the query?
