Elasticsearch not returning singular/plural matches

Question

I am using a php library of elasticsearch to index and find documents in my website. This is the code for creating the index:

curl -XPUT \'http://localhost:9200/         


        

Answer 1

Since 'porterStem' filter is oversensitive, it is more suited if you use 'minimal_english' filter. 'porterStem' creates similar tokens for words such as :

searching for 'Test' will result you 'Test', 'Tests', 'Testing', 'Tester' et. al.

But 'minimal_english' will only yield - 'Test' and 'Tests'.
