Hi,

I've just started to use Elastic Search with elasticsearch /  
elasticsearch-analysis-kuromoji, which is Japanese tokenizer. I works well  
and now I would like to know how use user dictionary. From it's source  
code, it seems to support user dictionary.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Regards,  
Mai Nakagawa

Hi Mai

I try user dictionary, elasticsearch-0.90.0 Beta1 and elasticsearch-analysis-kuromoji/1.2.0.

Register the analyzer "my\_analyzer" with kuromoji\_tokenizer using user\_dictionary.  
"userdict\_ja.txt" file put "ES\_HOME/config/userdict\_ja.txt" .(I use SOLR\_HOME/example/solr/colleciton1/config/lang/userdict\_ja.txt)

$ curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/kuromoji\_sample/](http://localhost:9200/kuromoji_sample/)' -d'  
{  
"index":{  
"analysis":{  
"tokenizer" : {  
"kuromoji\_user\_dict" : {  
"type":"kuromoji\_tokenizer",  
"user\_dictionary":"userdict\_ja.txt"  
}  
},  
"analyzer" : {  
"my\_analyzer" : {  
"type" : "custom",  
"tokenizer" : "kuromoji\_user\_dict"  
}  
}

```
    }
}

```

}  
'

Analyze "朝青龍" using "my\_analyzer" with user\_dictionary. "朝青龍" include userdict\_ja.txt  
$ curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/kuromoji\_sample/\_analyze?analyzer=my\_analyzer&pretty](http://localhost:9200/kuromoji_sample/_analyze?analyzer=my_analyzer&pretty)' -d '朝青龍'  
{  
"tokens" : [ {  
"token" : "朝青龍",  
"start\_offset" : 0,  
"end\_offset" : 3,  
"type" : "word",  
"position" : 1  
} ]

Analyze "朝青龍" using default "kuromoji" analyzer without user\_dictionary  
$ curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/kuromoji\_sample/\_analyze?analyzer=kuromoji&pretty](http://localhost:9200/kuromoji_sample/_analyze?analyzer=kuromoji&pretty)' -d '朝青龍'  
{  
"tokens" : [ {  
"token" : "朝",  
"start\_offset" : 0,  
"end\_offset" : 1,  
"type" : "word",  
"position" : 1  
}, {  
"token" : "青龍",  
"start\_offset" : 1,  
"end\_offset" : 3,  
"type" : "word",  
"position" : 2  
} ]

Hi Jun san,

Thank you for your reply.

I've tried with the current latest stable version, which is  
elasticsearch-0.20.5 and elasticsearch-analysis-kuromoji/1.1.0, and it  
works as well !

Mai
