Is it possible to change the delimiters used in an analyzed field ? Suppose a field client\_id is an analyzed field and a client\_id looks like 111-33-22-11 while visualizing in kibana it splits it into 4 separate [strings.My](http://strings.My) question is that is it possible to edit the delimiters used in analyzed field to remove '-' 'from it, without making client\_id a not\_analyzed field? ---

Alteration of a field is by definition, analysis, so technically you cannot. But you can setup custom analysis using a token filter like [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.3/analysis-pattern-replace-charfilter.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.3/analysis-pattern-replace-charfilter.html) ---
