Hi,  
I am new to elastic search. So guys, could you please let me know the answer for the below question:

How do we know the list of analyzer(s) applied on the particular document?

@chandu Analyzers are defined at an index level via an index setting (and example update of that setting is [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.5/indices-update-settings.html#update-settings-analysis)) and/or a [field mapping](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.5/analysis.html). If no analyzer is defined, the default [standard analyzer](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.5/analysis-standard-analyzer.html) is used for `text` fields.

So, you can view the list of defined analyzers by [viewing the index mapping](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.5/indices-get-mapping.html):

```auto
GET /twitter/_mapping/tweet

```

Again, if you have text fields and haven't explicitly set an analyzer, it'll use the default. Should also mention that this is for 5.0. In 4.0 you have `string` fields which can be set to "not analyzed" (see the note [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.5/mapping-index.html))

Thank you Mike.

But, we are using elastic search version 1.3.2.

What could be the process to see the list of Analyzers in the case of 1.3.2.

it would be the same, just that there is a way to disable analyzers on `string` fields, which no longer exist for newly created indices in 5.x
