Hello,

I saw elastic had an [Arabic analyzer](https://elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/analysis-lang-analyzer.html#arabic-analyzer) for ES. however in appsearch and enterprise's indices I cannot select Arabic as engine language/language analyzer.

I wish to know when this feature will be implemented for both. (if at all)

Thanks,  
Chenko

Hi @Chenko, thanks for the question!

We didn't include the Arabic analyzer in App Search or Enterprise Search's Search indices as it was less-frequently requested.

That shouldn't stop you from being able to use that language analyzer in your Elasticsearch (i.e. Enterprise Search-created Search indices) though: you could [update an existing index setting](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-update-settings.html#update-settings-analysis) or [create a new index with the appropriate analyzer](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/configuring-analyzers.html).
