Query String Query with quote_field_suffix not using the quote_field_suffix field to search

Plugins installed: []
X-Pack

JVM version (java -version):

Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior:

Query string query with quote_field_suffix not using the correct field for search. Simple query string query seems to work correctly. Also, this works fine in version 5.6 and 6.0 alpha 2

Steps to reproduce:

PUT testindex
{
  "settings": {
    "analysis": {
      "analyzer": {
        "english_exact": {
          "tokenizer": "standard",
          "filter": [
            "lowercase"
          ]
        }
      }
    },
    "number_of_shards": 1,
    "number_of_replicas": 0
  },
  "mappings": {
    "type": {
      "properties": {
        "body": {
          "type": "text",
          "analyzer": "english",
          "fields": {
            "exact": {
              "type": "text",
              "analyzer": "english_exact"
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

PUT testindex/type/1
{
  "body": "Ski resort"
}

PUT testindex/type/2
{
  "body": "A pair of skis"
}

PUT testindex/type/3
{
  "body": "ski boots"
}

POST testindex/_refresh

GET testindex/_search                               <-- works fine 
{
  "query": {
    "simple_query_string": {
      "fields": [ "body" ],
      "quote_field_suffix": ".exact",
      "query": "\"ski boot\""
    }
  }
}

GET testindex/_search
{
  "query": {
    "query_string": {
      "fields": [ "body" ],
      "quote_field_suffix": ".exact",
      "query": "\"ski boot\""
    }
  }
}

GET testindex/_validate/query?rewrite 
{
  "query": {
    "query_string": {
      "fields": [ "body" ],
      "quote_field_suffix": ".exact",
      "query": "\"ski boot\""
    }
  }
}

The result of the rewrite seems to drop the exact multi-field.

Hi Sherry, thank you for filing the bug. Is there an ETA on this? One of our feature delivery is dependent on this.

Is there an alternate interim solution?

Does anyone know when this will be released officially?

[jasontedor]

@imranazad It should be included in 6.3.0, but as a matter of policy we do not provide release dates.

[imranazad]

@jasontedor Thanks, I've downloaded the version (6.2.3) from here: https://www.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch

But the issue persists, I've noticed there are various references to 6.3.0 but I can't seem to figure out where to download it from.

Can you please advise?

[jasontedor]

6.3.0 is not released yet; that’s why I say we do not provide release dates.

[imranazad]

@jasontedor Ah I see, thanks I realised that afterwards. I'll keep an eye out.

[jasontedor]

You're welcome; sorry for the previous confusion.
