Whitespace tokenizer

Whitespace tokenizer

edit

The whitespace tokenizer breaks text into terms whenever it encounters a whitespace character.

Example output

edit

resp = client.indices.analyze(
    tokenizer="whitespace",
    text="The 2 QUICK Brown-Foxes jumped over the lazy dog's bone.",
)
print(resp)

response = client.indices.analyze(
  body: {
    tokenizer: 'whitespace',
    text: "The 2 QUICK Brown-Foxes jumped over the lazy dog's bone."
  }
)
puts response

const response = await client.indices.analyze({
  tokenizer: "whitespace",
  text: "The 2 QUICK Brown-Foxes jumped over the lazy dog's bone.",
});
console.log(response);

POST _analyze
{
  "tokenizer": "whitespace",
  "text": "The 2 QUICK Brown-Foxes jumped over the lazy dog's bone."
}

The above sentence would produce the following terms:

[ The, 2, QUICK, Brown-Foxes, jumped, over, the, lazy, dog's, bone. ]

Configuration

edit

The whitespace tokenizer accepts the following parameters:

max_token_length

The maximum token length. If a token is seen that exceeds this length then it is split at max_token_length intervals. Defaults to 255.
