Test an analyzer
editTest an analyzer
editThe analyze API is an invaluable tool for viewing the
terms produced by an analyzer. A built-in analyzer can be specified inline in
the request:
response = client.indices.analyze(
body: {
analyzer: 'whitespace',
text: 'The quick brown fox.'
}
)
puts response
POST _analyze
{
"analyzer": "whitespace",
"text": "The quick brown fox."
}
The API returns the following response:
{
"tokens": [
{
"token": "The",
"start_offset": 0,
"end_offset": 3,
"type": "word",
"position": 0
},
{
"token": "quick",
"start_offset": 4,
"end_offset": 9,
"type": "word",
"position": 1
},
{
"token": "brown",
"start_offset": 10,
"end_offset": 15,
"type": "word",
"position": 2
},
{
"token": "fox.",
"start_offset": 16,
"end_offset": 20,
"type": "word",
"position": 3
}
]
}
You can also test combinations of:
- A tokenizer
- Zero or more token filters
- Zero or more character filters
response = client.indices.analyze(
body: {
tokenizer: 'standard',
filter: [
'lowercase',
'asciifolding'
],
text: 'Is this déja vu?'
}
)
puts response
POST _analyze
{
"tokenizer": "standard",
"filter": [ "lowercase", "asciifolding" ],
"text": "Is this déja vu?"
}
The API returns the following response:
{
"tokens": [
{
"token": "is",
"start_offset": 0,
"end_offset": 2,
"type": "<ALPHANUM>",
"position": 0
},
{
"token": "this",
"start_offset": 3,
"end_offset": 7,
"type": "<ALPHANUM>",
"position": 1
},
{
"token": "deja",
"start_offset": 8,
"end_offset": 12,
"type": "<ALPHANUM>",
"position": 2
},
{
"token": "vu",
"start_offset": 13,
"end_offset": 15,
"type": "<ALPHANUM>",
"position": 3
}
]
}
Alternatively, a custom analyzer can be
referred to when running the analyze API on a specific index:
PUT my-index-000001
{
"settings": {
"analysis": {
"analyzer": {
"std_folded": {
"type": "custom",
"tokenizer": "standard",
"filter": [
"lowercase",
"asciifolding"
]
}
}
}
},
"mappings": {
"properties": {
"my_text": {
"type": "text",
"analyzer": "std_folded"
}
}
}
}
GET my-index-000001/_analyze
{
"analyzer": "std_folded",
"text": "Is this déjà vu?"
}
GET my-index-000001/_analyze
{
"field": "my_text",
"text": "Is this déjà vu?"
}
The API returns the following response:
{
"tokens": [
{
"token": "is",
"start_offset": 0,
"end_offset": 2,
"type": "<ALPHANUM>",
"position": 0
},
{
"token": "this",
"start_offset": 3,
"end_offset": 7,
"type": "<ALPHANUM>",
"position": 1
},
{
"token": "deja",
"start_offset": 8,
"end_offset": 12,
"type": "<ALPHANUM>",
"position": 2
},
{
"token": "vu",
"start_offset": 13,
"end_offset": 15,
"type": "<ALPHANUM>",
"position": 3
}
]
}
