</div>

When I use the following command:

curl -XGET 'x.x.x.x:9200/\_analyze?analyzer=standardAnalyzer\_Name&pretty' -d 'justice this is a  
test http'

It says :

'{  
"error" : "ElasticsearchIllegalArgumentException[failed to find analyzer [standardAnalyzer\_Name]]",  
"status" : 400  
}  
'  
Although it is there in my mapping :  
'{  
"analysis": {  
"filter": {

```
  "filter_stop_custom": {
      "type": "stop",
      "stopwords": ["Mr.", "Mrs.", "Senior", "Junior"]
  }        

```

},

"analyzer": {  
"commaAnalyzer\_titles": {  
"type" : "custom",  
"tokenizer" : "standard"  
"filter" : ["lowercase", "filter\_stop\_custom"]  
} ,  
}

}  
}'

Can anybody help me with this issue ?

Thanks  
Siddharth

Can you format the analyser code so it's easier to read please.

You have to specify the index name when you run the `_analyze` query.

```
curl -XGET 'x.x.x.x:9200/index/_analyze
```

Due to the way custom analyzers are created, they are tied to an index that  
contains them in the mapping.

What David is saying is that you need to add a specific index to the API  
call, not just simply the word index.
