Hi All,
I am new to this forum and elasticsearch. I am moving from using Lucene
engine to using ElasticSearch. In Lucene, I created a custom
MetaphoneReplacementAnalyzer for indexing and searching which implements a
special filter which is tuned for my special type of searches especially
indian languages. Is there any similar plugin for elastic search? or, how
do I convert my analyzer to a elastic search plugin?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Bhaskar

Introducing an existing Lucene analyzer into elasticsearch via a plugin is
relatively easy. You can look at many of the existing analyzer plugins for
guidance. Basically, you add your analyzer/filter/tokenizer to the
AnalysisModule when the plugin starts.
[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/modules/plugins/) (scroll down
to the analysis plugins section)
Cheers,
Ivan
