We are currently indexing using this analyzer for our text fields:
```auto
lowercase_keyword: {
type: 'custom',
char_filter: ['html_strip'],
tokenizer: 'keyword',
filter: ['asciifolding', 'lowercase'],
},
```
Example mapping snippet:
```auto
lastName: {
type: 'text',
analyzer: 'lowercase_keyword',
fields: {
raw: {
type: 'keyword',
},
},
},
```
Using the `/_anaylze` endpoint to check that analyzer composition with a test string (`"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
`) I can see that the expected decoding is taking place:
```auto
{
"tokens": [
{
"token": "\n\"the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.\"\n",
"start_offset": 0,
"end_offset": 80,
"type": "word",
"position": 0
}
]
}
```
I know that using `_source` will produce the index documents, where I would fully expect to get `D"Angelo` for `lastName` in my index, but when I query using `fields` it was my understanding from reading the documentation that _this_ value would use the mapping and produce the value more inline with what the analyzer example shows.
Hoping to avoid any pre-indexing scrubbing of the data and would appreciate any guidance. Please let me know if I can supplement my examples to help better clarify the problem

Are you sure that the mapping is properly applied in your index? Can you provide a fully reproducible example including index creation and mapping and document indexing?
Also, there is a processor that strips HTML also in the source, see [HTML strip processor | Elasticsearch Guide [7.13] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.13/htmlstrip-processor.html)
