Text datatypeedit

A field to index full-text values, such as the body of an email or the

description of a product. These fields are analyzed, that is they are passed through an

analyzer to convert the string into a list of individual terms

before being indexed. The analysis process allows Elasticsearch to search for

individual words within each full text field. Text fields are not

used for sorting and seldom used for aggregations (although the

significant terms aggregation

is a notable exception).

If you need to index structured content such as email addresses, hostnames, status

codes, or tags, it is likely that you should rather use a keyword field.

Below is an example of a mapping for a text field:

PUT my_index

{

"mappings": {

"my_type": {

"properties": {

"full_name": {

"type": "text"

}

}

}

}

}

Sometimes it is useful to have both a full text (text) and a keyword

(keyword) version of the same field: one for full text search and the

other for aggregations and sorting. This can be achieved with

multi-fields.

Parameters for text fieldsedit

The following parameters are accepted by text fields:

The analyzer which should be used for

analyzed string fields, both at index-time and at

search-time (unless overridden by the search_analyzer).

Defaults to the default index analyzer, or the

standard analyzer.

Mapping field-level query time boosting. Accepts a floating point number, defaults

to 1.0.

Should global ordinals be loaded eagerly on refresh? Accepts true or false

(default). Enabling this is a good idea on fields that are frequently used for

(significant) terms aggregations.

Can the field use in-memory fielddata for sorting, aggregations,

or scripting? Accepts true or false (default).

Expert settings which allow to decide which values to load in memory when fielddata

is enabled. By default all values are loaded.

Multi-fields allow the same string value to be indexed in multiple ways for

different purposes, such as one field for search and a multi-field for

sorting and aggregations, or the same string value analyzed by different

analyzers.

Whether or not the field value should be included in the

_all field? Accepts true or false. Defaults

to false if index is set to no, or if a parent

object field sets include_in_all to false.

Otherwise defaults to true.

Should the field be searchable? Accepts true (default) or false.

What information should be stored in the index, for search and highlighting purposes.

Defaults to positions.

Whether field-length should be taken into account when scoring queries.

Accepts true (default) or false.

The number of fake term position which should be inserted between each

element of an array of strings. Defaults to the position_increment_gap

configured on the analyzer which defaults to 100. 100 was chosen because it

prevents phrase queries with reasonably large slops (less than 100) from

matching terms across field values.

Whether the field value should be stored and retrievable separately from

the _source field. Accepts true or false

(default).

The analyzer that should be used at search time on

analyzed fields. Defaults to the analyzer setting.

The analyzer that should be used at search time when a

phrase is encountered. Defaults to the search_analyzer setting.

Which scoring algorithm or similarity should be used. Defaults

to classic, which uses TF/IDF.

Whether term vectors should be stored for an analyzed

field. Defaults to no.

Indexes imported from 2.x do not support text. Instead they will

attempt to downgrade text into string. This allows you to merge modern

mappings with legacy mappings. Long lived indexes will have to be recreated

before upgrading to 6.x but mapping downgrade gives you the opportunity to do

the recreation on your own schedule.
