If you want a japanese analyzer, you can try elasticsearch-analysis-kuromoji [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-analysis-kuromoji](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-analysis-kuromoji) jasonz On Thursday, February 26, 2015 at 3:46:37 PM UTC+8, K.Samanth Kumar Reddy wrote: > Hi, > > I am using elasticsearch for last 6 months.

My data is available in MSSQL database. I am able to read the japan data and create the index using java. Here I followed the same approach which I followed for creating the english data earlier. Am I doing in the right way? In this case, will the default analyzer be applied automatically for Japan data also?.

You can visit "localhost:9200/${your\_index}/${your\_type}/\_search" in your browser. Then check whether the number of hits.\_total is correspond to the number of your db data or not. Yes, ES will use standard analyzer when no analyzer is specified explicitly in your \_mapping or elasticsearch.yml. Actually I think kuromoji is better than the default standard analyzer if you want to search the japanese fields. You can try `curl 'localhost:9200/_analyze?analyzer=standard' -d ' 高速スケーラブル検索エンジン'` and change the 'analyzer' to 'kuromoji' to check which one is better if you're interested. Docs here.
