Analyzer is not being applied to fields?

contracts = Index('contracts')
my_analyzer = analyzer('simple')

contracts.analyzer(my_analyzer)


@contracts.doc_type
class ContractDocument(DocType):
    client = fields.StringField(attr='client_name')

    class Meta:
        model = Contract

        fields = [
            'id',
            'name'
        ]

I am trying to apply simple analyzer on fields. But when I call termvectors after running search_index, I see that standard analyzer is applied on fields.

How can I apply simple analyzer to all fields?

I have tons of fields, I don’t want to declare them by hand. Only solution is to create an ES Field for each model field? How can I declare analyzer for fields in Meta.fields or how can I modify my class to do this?

You can discard the Django related parts.

I guess this kind of analyzer settings does not do this:

PUT /contracts
{
  "mappings": {
    "contract_document":{
      "properties": {
        "name":{
          "type":"text",
          "analyzer": "simple"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Right?

You can define an analyzer for a field by passing it as a parameter to the field class: name = Text(analyzer='simple')

unfortunately I am not familiar with the API that you are using, but just passing a name of a built-in analyzer or an Analyzer instance should work.

If you don’t create the index explicitly an empty index with default mappings (== using standard analyzer) will be created for you. That is why you have to create the index explicitly before pushing any documents in. See (0) for more details.
