I am working on ES 6.4.2, want to apply multiple analyzers to a field. I am looking to apply snowball and stop word. I tried thie below mapping is this the correct apporach.

```auto
PUT /some-index
{
    "settings": {
        "index": {
            "number_of_shards": 5,
            "number_of_replicas": 1,
            "refresh_interval": "60s",
            "analysis" : {
              "analyzer" : {
                "my_analyzer" : {
                    "tokenizer" : "standard",
                    "filter" : ["standard", "lowercase", "my_snow"]
               },
               "stop_analyzer": {
                 "type": "stop",
                 "stopwords": "_english_"
               }
              } ,

              "filter" : {
                "my_snow" : {
                    "type" : "snowball",
                    "language" : "Lovins"
                }
            }
        }
        }
    },
    "mappings": {
        "doc": {
            "_source": {
                "enabled": true
            },
            "properties": {

                    "store": true,
                     "analyzer":["my_analyzer","stop_analyzer"],
                     "search_analyzer": "my_analyzer"
                },

                "title": {
                    "type": "text",
                    "index": "true",
                    "store": true,
                            "analyzer":["my_analyzer","stop_analyzer"],
                            "search_analyzer": "my_analyzer"

                }

You could change the dbl\_metaphone and shingle analysers  
indent preformatted text by 4 spaces
