CJK Bigram Token Filter

edit

The cjk_bigram token filter forms bigrams out of the CJK terms that are generated by the standard tokenizer or the icu_tokenizer (see ICU Analysis Plugin).

By default, when a CJK character has no adjacent characters to form a bigram, it is output in unigram form. If you always want to output both unigrams and bigrams, set the output_unigrams flag to true. This can be used for a combined unigram+bigram approach.

Bigrams are generated for characters in han, hiragana, katakana and hangul, but bigrams can be disabled for particular scripts with the ignored_scripts parameter. All non-CJK input is passed through unmodified.
