When i use the "french" analyzer on words containing double letter i got as result a work without the double letter. Is it normal? The index is built with the same analyzer but

# Request:

{"analyzer":"french","text":["Village"],"tokenizer":"edge\_ngram"}

# Response:

{"tokens":[{"token":"vilag","start\_offset":0,"end\_offset":7,"type":"","position":0}]}

If the "italian" analyzer is used the result is

# Request:

{"analyzer":"italian","text":["Village"],"tokenizer":"edge\_ngram"}

# Response:

{"tokens":[{"token":"villag","start\_offset":0,"end\_offset":7,"type":"","position":0}]}

Please note that `tokenizer` has no effect here.

Next time, could you share a script like:

```auto
POST _analyze
{
  "analyzer": "french",
  "text": [
    "Village"
  ]
}

```

So it's easier to copy and paste and test.

the `french` and `italian` analyzers are coming from Lucene. I can't tell if the behavior is normal or not. But what is the problem with that behavior?
