Create index:


curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/my_twitter1/' -d '
{
    "settings": {
        "number_of_shards": 1,
        "number_of_replicas": 0
    },
    "mappings": {
        "tweet" : {
            "properties" : {
                "user" : {"type" : "string", "index" : "not_analyzed"},
                "message" : {"type" : "string", "null_value" : "na", "index" : "analyzed", "analyzer" : "whitespace"},
                "_all" : {"type" : "string", "null_value" : "na", "index" : "analyzed", "analyzer" : "whitespace"},
                "postDate" : {"type" : "date"}
            }
        }
    }
}'


Add a doc:


curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/my_twitter1/tweet/1' -d '{
    "user" : "kimchy",
    "post_date" : "2011-09-20T16:20:00",
    "message" : "I was trying to use elastic search"
}'

Run a search:

curl -X GET http://localhost:9200/my_twitter1/tweet/_search?search_type=dfs_query_and_fetch -d '{
    "query": {
        "query_string": {
            "default_field": "_all",
            "query": "was"
        }
    },
    "from": 0,
    "size": 60,
    "explain": false
}'


The document does not come back as "was" gets stripped from the input since the whitepace analyzer isn't used.

Specify the analyzer and the doc comes back:

curl -X GET http://localhost:9200/my_twitter1/tweet/_search?search_type=dfs_query_and_fetch -d '{
    "query": {
        "query_string": {
            "default_field": "_all",
            "query": "was",
            "analyzer": "whitespace"
        }
    },
    "from": 0,
    "size": 60,
    "explain": false
}'
