Basic text search analyzers

A text analyzer prescribes how text is indexed.

A text analyzer converts input text into tokens that are indexed.

Analyzers differ in the ways that they process the following text attributes:

  • Letter case
  • Stopwords
  • Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters
  • Numbers and non-alphabetic characters
  • White spaces
  • Word stems
  • Word pronunciation

If your needs are different than any of the basic text search analyzers, you can create a user-defined analyzer.
