Hi!
I'm using html\_strip for striping all HTML tags from some fields. But when I
search messages with "img" in its body then ES finds messages with ![]() tag
too.
Where I'm wrong?
There is the query:
{'query': {
'filtered': {
'filter': {'term': {'owner\_id': '4d07646affc84a6717000011'}
},
'query': {'query\_string': {'query': u'img\*'}}
}
}
Here is part of my ES config:
index:
analysis:
analyzer:
message\_content:
tokenizer: standard
char\_filter: [html\_strip]
read\_ahead: 1024
Part of the mapping of index "messages":
```
"message": {
"_source" : {"enabled": false},
"properties" : {
"body": {
"type": "string",
"index_analyzer": "message_content"
}
}
}
```

I'm afraid I'm not writing with a solution but a related question...
My reading of the ES manual suggests that the analyzer will run html\_strip by default -- in other words, there's no need to declare it in the configuration. But am I correct? See below:

I created a small HTML strip test here

This creates an index with two custom analyzers:
test\_1: {
"tokenizer" : "standard",
"char\_filter" : ["html\_strip"]
}
test\_2: {
"tokenizer" : "standard",
"char\_filter" : ["html\_strip"],
"filter" : ["standard","lowercase","stop","asciifolding"],
}
Then I use the analyze call to compare the results of the standard,
test\_1 and test\_2 analyzers when indexing the text:
"the **quick** bröwn ![]() "jumped""
The results show that this is working correctly.
Are you sure that you added your mapping with the message\_content
analyzer before you indexed all of your docs?
Can you create a curl recreation of the issue that you are seeing?
thanks

No, it is available by default, but not enabled by default.
See [HTML Strip charfilter test for ElasticSearch · GitHub](https://gist.github.com/780895) for an example of how to use it.
