Hello I currently creating an elasticsearch extension for Bolt (a [very  
cool] symfony2 based CMS).  
For the PHP client i'm using elasticsearch-php.

Great ! I already wrote the code that create the index, mapping and add  
some data 🙂

Now I would like to customize the analyzer, so OK in the mapping I could  
tell (as described in  
[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/php-api/current/\_index\_operations.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/php-api/current/_index_operations.html))  
:

$myTypeMapping = array(  
'\_source' =\> array(  
'enabled' =\> true  
),  
'properties' =\> array(  
'first\_name' =\> array(  
'type' =\> 'string',  
'analyzer' =\> '_whatever\_analyzer_'  
),  
'age' =\> array(  
'type' =\> 'integer'  
)  
)  
);

But I don't really understand\* how/where to declare the so called \*\*whatever\_analyzer  
\*Instead of the default "standard" analyzer ... can you point me to the  
example in the documentation ?

For example, if I want this kind of analyzers, how ca I declare this with  
elasticsearch-php ?

```
                    analyzer:
                        default_index:
                            type: "custom"
                            char_filter: html_strip
                            tokenizer: "standard" # 

```

"my\_edge\_ngram\_tokenizer"  
filter: [ trim, lowercase, stop\_fr,  
fr\_stemmer, my\_edge\_ngram\_filter, asciifolding ]  
default\_search:  
type: custom  
tokenizer: standard  
filter: [ trim, lowercase, stop\_fr,  
fr\_stemmer, asciifolding ]  
mots\_clefs:  
type: "custom"  
tokenizer: "keyword"  
filter: [ standard, trim, lowercase,  
asciifolding ]  
filter:  
my\_edge\_ngram\_filter:  
type: "edgeNGram"  
min\_gram: "3"  
max\_gram: "20"  
stop\_fr:  
type: "stop"  
stopwords: [_french_]  
fr\_stemmer:  
type: "stemmer"  
name: "french"

Thanks 🙂

I publish my own answer 🙂

so following the exemple

>
> Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI. See into your data and find answers that matter with enterprise solutions designed to help you build, observe, and protect. Try Elasticsearch free today.

you can add custom analyzers simply at the index creation 🙂

```
    $indexParams['body'] = $this->config['indexsetting'];
    $result = $this->client->indices()->create($indexParams);

```

given that for example, $this-\>config['indexsetting'] is the following yaml  
(that have to be converted in php array) :

indexsetting:  
analysis:  
analyzer:  
nom\_analyzer:  
type: custom  
tokenizer: standard  
filter: [trim, lowercase, asciifolding]
