Hi ,

I have an issue with the Japanese analyzer with "tokenizer": "kuromoji\_tokenizer".

I want to make special character search along with this tokenizer . My analyzer is as below:

"analyzer\_jp\_stemmer": {  
"filter": [  
"lowercase",  
"kuromoji\_baseform",  
"kuromoji\_part\_of\_speech",  
"cjk\_width",  
"kuromoji\_stemmer",  
"esc\_stop"  
],  
"tokenizer": "kuromoji\_tokenizer"  
},

How can I include " **whitespace**" in this to make Japanese search working with special character?
