Testing analyzers

editThe analyze
API is an invaluable tool for viewing the
terms produced by an analyzer. A built-in analyzer (or combination of built-in
tokenizer, token filters, and character filters) can be specified inline in
the request:
POST _analyze { "analyzer": "whitespace", "text": "The quick brown fox." } POST _analyze { "tokenizer": "standard", "filter": [ "lowercase", "asciifolding" ], "text": "Is this déja vu?" }
Alternatively, a custom
analyzer can be
referred to when running the analyze
API on a specific index:
PUT my_index { "settings": { "analysis": { "analyzer": { "std_folded": { "type": "custom", "tokenizer": "standard", "filter": [ "lowercase", "asciifolding" ] } } } }, "mappings": { "properties": { "my_text": { "type": "text", "analyzer": "std_folded" } } } } GET my_index/_analyze { "analyzer": "std_folded", "text": "Is this déjà vu?" } GET my_index/_analyze { "field": "my_text", "text": "Is this déjà vu?" }
