HI Anvesh,

For applying multiple analysers, I would recommend that you check out "multi fields". This allows you to analyze a field in as many ways as you'd like.

There's an example here:  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.4/multi-fields.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.4/multi-fields.html)

Where the `city` field is analyzed as both `text` and `keyword`. You can do the same thing with analyzers:

```auto
PUT my_index
{
  "mappings": {
    "_doc": {
      "properties": {
        "myfield": {
          "type": "text",
          "analyzer": "standard",
          "fields": {
            "english": { 
              "type": "text",
              "analyzer": "english"
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

```

In that case, the `myfield` field will be analyzed with two different analyzers ("standard" and "english")
