Does elasticsearch support pre-analyzed fields [1]? Basically having the client provide the stored value and the token stream. I have a few use cases where this would be helpful. 1.

Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this or where I might begin in implementing a plugin to implement this capability.

Not quite the same, but I analyze query terms for queries that do not support analysis (SpanBuilders) using analyzers derived from the AnalysisModule. PreAnalyzedFields look interesting, but I am wondering why it is a Solr class and not Lucene. -- Ivan On Thu, May 9, 2013 at 8:18 AM, Paul Dlug [paul.dlug@gmail.com](mailto:paul.dlug@gmail.com) wrote: > Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this or where I might begin > in implementing a plugin to implement this capability. > > Thanks, > Paul > > On Tuesday, April 23, 2013 8:54:55 PM UTC-4, Paul Dlug wrote: > > > Does elasticsearch support pre-analyzed fields [1]?

Because in Lucene you can already do this: You just create two fields of the same name, the first stored but not indexed with the text contents, the second with the content you would like to have indexed. You can, for example, merge multiple token streams into one field using this trick. The first could be the normal analyzed sequence of words derived from the original text, the second could be an externally computed sequence of tags like part-of-speech or entity annotations or some other analysis too advanced for the standard lucene analyzers. Then, the field can be searched using the analyzed terms but you can still get the original text and even highlight it etc. For example, you could search for "verb" and get all verbs highlighted in the original text (given your analyzed token stream has appropriate offsets and position\_increments). I'm currently looking for the same thing, which is way I digged out this post. If anyone knows more about it, I'd really like to hear it.
