Can somebody point me to Query time synonym expansion mapping and index-time synonym expansion mapping . My mapping is as below { "settings": { "analysis": { "analyzer": { "synonym": { "tokenizer": "whitespace", "filter": [ "standard", "lowercase", "syns\_filter" ] } }, "filter": { "syns\_filter": { "synonyms\_path": "synonyms/synonym\_country.txt", "type": "synonym" } } } }, "mappings": { "hometwo": { "properties": { "name": { "type": "string", "analyzer": "synonym" } } } } } how to know it is query time analyzer or index time analyzer. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

If you use the "analyzer" parameter, then it will be used at both indexing and query time. You can specify the specific analyzers via index\_analyzer and search\_analyzer > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI.
