Greetings! I'm trying to figure out how to define a custom tokenizer for phone numbers similar to how we tokenize phone number in Solr using the solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory[http://wiki.apache.org/solr/AnalyzersTokenizersTokenFilters#solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory](http://wiki.apache.org/solr/AnalyzersTokenizersTokenFilters#solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory) with all the parameters set to true. So, the following tokens would be generated for (111) 222-3333: (111) 222-3333, 1112223333, 111, 222, 3333. How would I define a similar custom tokenizer in ElasticSearch? Thanks in advance. p.s. Since ElasticSearch supports email and url tokenization out of the box, how about adding a standard telephone number tokenizer? Thoughts?
