Hi all, I'm aiming to build an index that, for each document, will break it down by word ngrams (uni, bi, and tri), then capture term vector analysis on all of those word ngrams. Is that possible with Elasticsearch? For instance, for a document field containing "The car drives." I would be able to get: the - 1 instance car - 1 instance drives - 1 instance the car - 1 instance car drives - 1 instance the car drives - 1 instance Thanks in advance! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Bump. Also, need to correct my original example as 'The red car drives': red car drives red car car drives red car drives On Friday, December 5, 2014 12:43:57 PM UTC-5, Adam Toy wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm aiming to build an index that, for each document, will break it down > by word ngrams (uni, bi, and tri), then capture term vector analysis on all > of those word ngrams.

In Lucene-based search (ie Elasticsearch/Solr) "ngram" means character ngrams. Like "red" =\> "r", "re", "red". What most folks think of as "ngrams" Lucene calls "shingles".
