In kibana I m analyzing a phrase  
POST /lrptest/\_analyze  
{  
"analyzer": "my\_analyzer",  
"text": "BLISS LOGISTICS & SHIPPING PRIVATE LIMITED"  
}  
and output is  
{  
"tokens": [  
{  
"token": "bliss",  
"start\_offset": 0,  
"end\_offset": 5,  
"type": "",  
"position": 0  
},  
{  
"token": "logist",  
"start\_offset": 6,  
"end\_offset": 15,  
"type": "",  
"position": 1  
},  
{  
"token": "ship",  
"start\_offset": 18,  
"end\_offset": 26,  
"type": "",  
"position": 2  
},  
{  
"token": "privat",  
"start\_offset": 27,  
"end\_offset": 34,  
"type": "",  
"position": 3  
},  
{  
"token": "limit",  
"start\_offset": 35,  
"end\_offset": 42,  
"type": "",  
"position": 4  
}  
]  
}

Why the word private ,logistics and limited is shortend ?

It depends on what "my\_analyzer" is.

AFAIK the english analyzer is using [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/analysis-porterstem-tokenfilter.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/analysis-porterstem-tokenfilter.html) which is doing some stemming:

```auto
POST _analyze
{
  "text": "Limitation limited limit",
  "analyzer": "english"
}

```

Gives:

```auto
{
  "tokens": [
    {
      "token": "limit",
      "start_offset": 0,
      "end_offset": 10,
      "type": "<ALPHANUM>",
      "position": 0
    },
    {
      "token": "limit",
      "start_offset": 11,
      "end_offset": 18,
      "type": "<ALPHANUM>",
      "position": 1
    },
    {
      "token": "limit",
      "start_offset": 19,
      "end_offset": 24,
      "type": "<ALPHANUM>",
      "position": 2
    }
  ]
}

```
