Configuring built-in analyzers

The built-in analyzers can be used directly without any configuration. Some of them, however, support configuration options to alter their behaviour. For instance, the standard analyzer can be configured to support a list of stop words:

resp = client.indices.create(
    index="my-index-000001",
    settings={
        "analysis": {
            "analyzer": {
                "std_english": {
                    "type": "standard",
                    "stopwords": "_english_"
                }
            }
        }
    },
    mappings={
        "properties": {
            "my_text": {
                "type": "text",
                "analyzer": "standard",
                "fields": {
                    "english": {
                        "type": "text",
                        "analyzer": "std_english"
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    },
)
print(resp)

resp1 = client.indices.analyze(
    index="my-index-000001",
    field="my_text",
    text="The old brown cow",
)
print(resp1)

resp2 = client.indices.analyze(
    index="my-index-000001",
    field="my_text.english",
    text="The old brown cow",
)
print(resp2)

              analyzer: 'std_english'
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
)
puts response

	We define the `std_english` analyzer to be based on the `standard` analyzer, but configured to remove the pre-defined list of English stopwords.
	The `my_text` field uses the `standard` analyzer directly, without any configuration. No stop words will be removed from this field. The resulting terms are: `[ the, old, brown, cow ]`
	The `my_text.english` field uses the `std_english` analyzer, so English stop words will be removed. The resulting terms are: `[ old, brown, cow ]`
