Hi Elias,

Yes, your workaround should work, you should be able to index and query on
subobjects with the same field names. I've included two examples below that
work successfully for me locally. Please take a look, this may help uncover
what's going wrong.

Best,
Rusty

bin/search-cmd install mybucket

# Example 1

curl -v -X PUT \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d @- \
http://127.0.0.1:8098/riak/mybucket/mykey1 \
<<EOF
{"menu": {
  "id": "file",
  "value": "File",
  "popup": {
    "menuitem": [
      {"value": "New", "onclick": "CreateNewDoc()"},
      {"value": "Open", "onclick": "OpenDoc()"},
      {"value": "Close", "onclick": "CloseDoc()"}
    ]
  }
}}
EOF

# All three of these queries should return mybucket/mykey1
bin/search-cmd search mybucket "menu_value:File"
bin/search-cmd search mybucket "menu_popup_menuitem_value:New"
bin/search-cmd search mybucket "menu_popup_menuitem_value:Open"


# Example 2

bin/search-cmd install mybucket

curl -v -X PUT \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d @- \
http://127.0.0.1:8098/riak/mybucket/mykey2 \
<<EOF
{"foo": [ { "bar" : "baz" }, {"bar":"yyy"} ] }
EOF

# Both of these queries should return mybucket/mykey2
bin/search-cmd search mybucket "foo_bar:baz"
bin/search-cmd search mybucket "foo_bar:yyy"
