Hello all,
I would like to eliminate html tags when I am performing search on certain fields in elastic. Can this be achieved using `html_strip` filter? If yes, can I have an example on how to add the analyzer and the filter? Thank you
Regards,
Sri

Hi @Srikanth_V .
Maybe this [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/analysis-htmlstrip-charfilter.html) help you.

Hello @RabBit_BR ,
Thanks. This looks fine. My main concern is, I don't want the field to loose the html tags, because I need them for display. I want to strip them when I search on them.
Regards,
Sri

I believe you have the same problem as this [post](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73987981/elasticsearch-highlight-the-result-of-script-fields/74005074#74005074). In this case there are two indexed fields, one with the html text and the other with the text without html.

I would like to have only field. When I create my query on frontend it should be able to find documents that tags as well. For example -
If my text is - Hello 2 (superscript and subscript tags usage)
and in my query if I write Hello 2, I would expect it to find this result

@RabBit_BR : We were able to strip the html while searching, by modifying the mapping -
{
"analyzer": "custom\_my\_analyzer",
"search\_analyzer": "default" // the default analyzer used,
}
point to be noted - make sure the custom\_my\_analyzer inherits the filters from default
Thanks again for your help.
