Hi. I am working on analyzer and I want to customize my analyzer so that it can look up words from ditcionary. I have noticed that there is an option of language analyser in Elastic Search. But unfortunately there is no documentation of how to use it. Can somebody tell me correct syntex of how to use it and what kind of dictionary file is required? Can I build my own dictionary? Regards. ---

Which dictionary is that? Have you built your own Lucene analyzer and want to plug it into elasticsearch?

Hi Kimchy and all, I'm new guy in ES. I'm doing some research on internet and I get some information (just a little) about language search. For example oe -\> Ö in Germany language. So could you please share to me how to let ES detect it? Is there any special configuration? Thanks and wish you have a nice day! ---

Yes. I have my own analyzer and I want to use a dictionary for that. I don't know what kind of dictionary can be used. Actually I want to know what kind of dictionary can be used. Also I want to know how to plug it in my analyzer. On Jul 5, 12:35 am, Shay Banon [shay.ba...@elasticsearch.com](mailto:shay.ba...@elasticsearch.com) wrote: > Which dictionary is that?

Hi, may be if you can give some example that would help. If all you want is to plugin your custom analyzer and load some dictionary from flat file then this should be really easy (you can check synonym filter or stemmer override filter [as of writing in master] for inspiration).

Because of the above, it sounds to me like Nachiket may be better of first using Lucene directly and figuring out what dictionary to use and how exactly to use it, and then once that is clear figure out how to plug his/her Analyzer into ES. ## Otis Sematext is hiring search people!
