Letter tokenizer
editLetter tokenizer
editThe letter
tokenizer breaks text into terms whenever it encounters a
character which is not a letter. It does a reasonable job for most European
languages, but does a terrible job for some Asian languages, where words are
not separated by spaces.
Example output
editresponse = client.indices.analyze( body: { tokenizer: 'letter', text: "The 2 QUICK Brown-Foxes jumped over the lazy dog's bone." } ) puts response
POST _analyze { "tokenizer": "letter", "text": "The 2 QUICK Brown-Foxes jumped over the lazy dog's bone." }
The above sentence would produce the following terms:
[ The, QUICK, Brown, Foxes, jumped, over, the, lazy, dog, s, bone ]
Configuration
editThe letter
tokenizer is not configurable.
