Hi all, Is there any analyzer available for indexing XML data. For e.g. If I index a XML data, I need to eliminate the tags and I need to search using the keyword Tove. Jani/ Reminder and retrieve this document for the below XML. \ Tove Jani Reminder Don't forget me this weekend! Thanks SrrIN ---

None currently (and its a question of what to make sortable in this case, are elements name sortable or not?). It might actually make sense to convert the XML to a json document so you can do more interesting search, but, in both cases, you need to parse the XML and provide it yourself.

Hi Shay, Thanks for the reply. No the element names are not sortable. I need the values to be searchable. ---
