I have the Smart Chinese Analysis plugin installed in elasticsearch 0.19.3 (via bin/plugin -install elasticsearch/elasticsearch-analysis-smartcn/1.2.0), and I'm just trying to see the analysis results using command lines like this: curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/\_analyze?analyzer=smart\_chinese](http://localhost:9200/_analyze?analyzer=smart_chinese)' -d '{"body":"油画"}' but this gives the error: {"error":"ElasticSearchIllegalArgumentException[failed to find analyzer [smart\_chinese]]","status":400} From the logs, it does look like the plugin is being loaded: [2012-08-17 17:15:35,928][INFO][plugins] [Wong] loaded [analysis-smartcn, cloud-aws], sites [] It does work if I ask for "analyzer=english" or "analyzer=chinese". So I must be missing some configuration somewhere? (I can't find any configuration for "english" or other built-in analyzers, so I'm a bit confused.) Thanks, Mike -- ---

Look inside the code for the actual binding. The standard ones are defined in AnalysisModule, but for at the code where it registers the plugin. It appears that the smart chinese analyzer is bound via "smartcn".

"analyzer=smartcn" doesn't work either: $ curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/\_analyze?analyzer=smartcn](http://localhost:9200/_analyze?analyzer=smartcn)' -d '{"body":"油画"}' {"error":"ElasticSearchIllegalArgumentException[failed to find analyzer [smartcn]]","status":400} (Nor does "tokenizer=smartcn\_sentence".) With the plugin loaded (apparently), is there some other configuration necessary to get these bindings?

Not sure about plugins, but for custom analyzers, you need to first create an index that references the analyzer. The plugin could potentially have the same issue.

Thanks, the smart\_chinese analyzer does seem to be working after creating an index that references it. More specifically, asking for it by name still fails, but the index settings update call succeeds, and I can see that the analysis results differ from the standard analyzer. (I guess there must be a specific list of analyzers available via "analyzer=whatever" as query parameters. Or maybe they're only picked up from index configuration at startup time, or whatever.) In case it helps anyone else, all I did was: $ curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/global/](http://localhost:9200/global/)' -d ' { "settings": { "index": { "analysis": { "analyzer": { "default": { "type": "smart\_chinese" } } } } } } ' {"ok":true,"acknowledged":true} and then it appears to be working: $ curl '[http://localhost:9200/global/\_analyze?pretty=true](http://localhost:9200/global/_analyze?pretty=true)' -d '油画' { "tokens" : [ { "token" : "油画", "start\_offset" : 0, "end\_offset" : 2, "type" : "word", "position" : 1 } ] } vs. the standard analyzer: $ curl '[http://localhost:9200/global/\_analyze?pretty=true&analyzer=standard](http://localhost:9200/global/_analyze?pretty=true&analyzer=standard)' -d '油画'{ "tokens" : [ { "token" : "油", "start\_offset" : 0, "end\_offset" : 1, "type" : "", "position" : 1 }, { "token" : "画", "start\_offset" : 1, "end\_offset" : 2, "type" : "", "position" : 2 } ] } However: $ curl '[http://localhost:9200/global/\_analyze?pretty=true&analyzer=smart\_chinese](http://localhost:9200/global/_analyze?pretty=true&analyzer=smart_chinese)' -d '油画' { "error" : "ElasticSearchIllegalArgumentException[failed to find analyzer [smart\_chinese]]", "status" : 400 } Mike On Friday, August 17, 2012 11:00:52 AM UTC-7, Ivan Brusic wrote: > Not sure about plugins, but for custom analyzers, you need to first > create an index that references the analyzer.
