CJK width token filter
editCJK width token filter
editNormalizes width differences in CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) characters as follows:
- Folds full-width ASCII character variants into the equivalent basic Latin characters
- Folds half-width Katakana character variants into the equivalent Kana characters
This filter is included in Elasticsearch’s built-in CJK language analyzer. It uses Lucene’s CJKWidthFilter.
This token filter can be viewed as a subset of NFKC/NFKD Unicode
normalization. See the
analysis-icu
plugin for
full normalization support.
Example
editGET /_analyze { "tokenizer" : "standard", "filter" : ["cjk_width"], "text" : "シーサイドライナー" }
The filter produces the following token:
シーサイドライナー
Add to an analyzer
editThe following create index API request uses the CJK width token filter to configure a new custom analyzer.
PUT /cjk_width_example { "settings": { "analysis": { "analyzer": { "standard_cjk_width": { "tokenizer": "standard", "filter": [ "cjk_width" ] } } } } }
