Standard Analyzeredit

The standard analyzer is the default analyzer which is used if none is specified. It provides grammar based tokenization (based on the Unicode Text Segmentation algorithm, as specified in Unicode Standard Annex #29) and works well for most languages.

Definitionedit

It consists of:

Example outputedit

POST _analyze
{
  "analyzer": "standard",
  "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 ]

Configurationedit

The standard analyzer 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.

stopwords

A pre-defined stop words list like _english_ or an array containing a list of stop words. Defaults to \_none_.

stopwords_path

The path to a file containing stop words.

See the Stop Token Filter for more information about stop word configuration.

Example configurationedit

In this example, we configure the standard analyzer to have a max_token_length of 5 (for demonstration purposes), and to use the pre-defined list of English stop words:

PUT my_index
{
  "settings": {
    "analysis": {
      "analyzer": {
        "my_english_analyzer": {
          "type": "standard",
          "max_token_length": 5,
          "stopwords": "_english_"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

POST my_index/_analyze
{
  "analyzer": "my_english_analyzer",
  "text": "The 2 QUICK Brown-Foxes jumped over the lazy dog's bone."
}

The above example produces the following terms:

[ 2, quick, brown, foxes, jumpe, d, over, lazy, dog's, bone ]
