- Whats the best way to handle umlauts so that suggesting for "Otto Mü..." and "Otto Mue..." lead to the same result? - When will the highlighting feature (approximately) be available? Is there a ticket on github to follow? Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hey, 1. Just index two inputs, one with ü and one with ue. Alternatively you replace ü to u as an analyzing/tokenization step (test it out, as your mileage may vary). 2. No fixed date yet. Also no github ticket at the moment, sorry. I'll do that soon (lacking a bit of time atm). --Alex On Fri, Sep 20, 2013 at 5:13 PM, joa [joafeldmann@gmail.com](mailto:joafeldmann@gmail.com) wrote: > - Whats the best way to handle umlauts so that suggesting for "Otto > Mü..." and "Otto Mue..." lead to the same result? > - When will the highlighting feature (approximately) be available?

Hi Alex, thanks for your feedback. One further question for comprehension[http://www.dict.cc/englisch-deutsch/comprehension.html](http://www.dict.cc/englisch-deutsch/comprehension.html) : I am offering suggests for names ("firstname lastname"). Is it possible to make suggestions also for "lastname firstname" WITHOUT using multiple inputs? Can this be done also through the analyzers?

Hey joa, I dont think so, at least nothing comes to my mind right now supporting this. You could switch firstname lastname maybe using a pattern char filter, but not both. Doing this before indexing seems like the way to go. --Alex On Mon, Sep 23, 2013 at 1:20 PM, joa [joafeldmann@gmail.com](mailto:joafeldmann@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi Alex, thanks for your feedback.
