## In the page [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/analysis-pattern-analyzer.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/analysis-pattern-analyzer.html), there is a sample as below:

DELETE test

PUT /test  
{  
"settings": {  
"analysis": {  
"analyzer": {  
"whitespace": {  
"type": "pattern",  
"pattern": "\s+"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

GET /test/\_analyze?analyzer=whitespace&text=foo,bar baz

# "foo,bar", "baz"

* * *

But actually it outputs "foo", "bar", "baz", how to output "foo,bar", "baz"?  
Any help is welcome.

Is that this one - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/analysis-pattern-analyzer.html#\_whitespace\_tokenizer](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/analysis-pattern-analyzer.html#_whitespace_tokenizer)?

It seems that your post formatting may have lost some of the code, use the `</>` button to format things 🙂

, what I need is an analyzer which could output terms "foo,bar", "baz" for input "foo,bar;baz"? Could you help me ?

My data like this: "Jack,Ma;Mary Wu;", I just want it to be tokenized by semicolon, so it should bring out "Jack,Ma", "Mary Wu".
