It is indexed, but not analyzed. This means one cannot readily search by its component parts, because the id is treated as a whole. I think this field type is called a keyword in ES 5.0. >> If we're not indexing it, we should clearly document how users can >> construct the URL to find their desired message id directly - someplace >> findable in the UI. >> >> - Shane >> > you can't search in the search box for message ID IIRC, but you can find > it easily by just going to thread.html/<insert-id-here> That works for John's example above: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/<[email protected]> However it might be useful to provide a search form which allowed direct input of msg id and other such fields. At present search only works from one of the mailing lists. There is a standalone page (search.html) but it's not linked from the main navigation (possibly because it is incomplete).
