Is there a way to set up a custom analyzer for a specific index type?  
For instance, If I have two index type "Maths" and "Science", I want  
everything indexed within the "Math" type to be analyzed by  
"MathAnalyzer" and everything going to the "Science" type to be  
analyzed by "ScienceAnalyzer".
