Optional asciifolding

I'm looking to make asciifolding optional in my (English) index. If the
user searches without any high ascii characters then I want to match
against the folded tokens. If the user searches with high ascii characters
then I only want to match the unfolded tokens. Is this possible with
Elasticsearch right now?

You will have to use 2 fields, or multiple terms on the same position. In a
recent project we found a nice way of dealing with that on the same field,
I hope to have a blog post about that soon..

I'd prefer multiple terms in the same position if I can get away with it.
That way it'd all be configured by the analyzer so it wouldn't add any
extra complexity to other languages. It'd take up much less space that way
as well.

Ok so the idea is you store each term twice - once stemmed (+ ascii folded

  • whatever) and once just lowercased, and add a character (we used $) to
    mark that term as the "original".

You can see it in action here:
https://github.com/synhershko/elasticsearch-analysis-hebrew/blob/master/src/main/java/com/code972/elasticsearch/analysis/HebrewIndexingAnalyzer.java#L20
(warning: plugin still under work, and is using some non-traditional
methods to do stuff)

There's some details to take into account - like how to search for the
original etc, but if you'll look at the code there you'll get an idea of
how its done

We did that also for non-Hebrew and non-English texts. It works quite
nicely, but it doubles the amount of terms in your index.
