Is there a way to do exact and full text searches without having to create two different fields?
The documentation (http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/_finding_exact_values.html) states fields must have the mapping "not_analyzed" in order to avoid tokenization. This allows exact searches to be done. In my case, I would like both full text search and exact searches. For example: When searching for book titles, a user can input either: I like ElasticSearch -OR- exact="I like ElasticSearch" The first case will return results from a full text search. The second case will return results only if the book title is exactly "I like ElasticSearch". Case sensitivity does not matter. To do this, I think I will have to create two fields called "book_title" and "book_title_exact" where "book_title_exact" will have a field mapping "not_analyzed" so that I can do exact matches. Is this the proper way of handling my use case? Or is there a simpler way in ES without having to store a title twice? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
