Mapping - cannot set a field to not be analized

[ionut-rosoiu]

I cannot get a field to not be analyzed:

class Post
{
[ElasticProperty(Index = FieldIndexOption.not_analyzed)]
public string Tag { get; set; }
}

Ok, common manifestation of PEBKAC, forgot to persist the mapping.

It doesn't work though for List< string > properties and the solution is to create a custom mapping using TypeMappingProperty.

Hah i had to google pebkac but glad to hear you got it working. Could you elaborate on your solution with a list of strings? Sounds like something worthy to be wikified :)

It was simple, really. I just wanted to have a List< string > propName not indexed, so I had to create an explicit type mapping first:

class Post
{
    [ElasticProperty(Name="tags", Index=FieldIndexOption.not_analyzed)]
    public List<string> Tags { get; set; }
}

var stringField = new TypeMappingProperty
{
    Type = "string",
    Index = "not_analyzed"
};

myMapping.Properties.Add("tags", stringField);
