I have been using Lucene with Smart Chinese Analyzer with fine results. Recently I moved to using Elasticsearch, and would like to continue to use the same language analyzer. I understand that currently I cannot configure ES to use this analyzer and would like the analyzer to be added. ---

Its not built into elasticsearch currently, but can be easily added. Open an issue for it?

Hello. I want to use elasticsearch for full-text search on a web site which is primarily (simplified) Chinese. I do not have any prior experience with search engines and language analyzers. Could someone give me some pointers on how to set up a Chinese analyzer for ES? Your help would be much appreciated. ---
