Is there anyway to use the analyzer and tokenizer separately? I’m trying to make a real-time search service like the twitter. In order to do this, I need to develop a server that does pull a result from elasticsearch first, then send real-time search results by comet. To accomplish this, the server needs analyzed search words and analyzed data lines. So, is it possible to get the analyzed result from eleasticsearch server? ---

Out of curiosity, I am not sure I understand why do you need the analyzed text?

Clinton, Thanks. That was what I needed. Shay, My Idea of making a real-time search requires separate http handling comet server that can process texts pushed from web servers. The comet server tries to search the analyzed input text based on analyzed user's search queries, then send back to users if it matches to the queries.

Then why not just execute the search against an index? Are you going to implement your own search mechanism? On Tuesday, December 7, 2010 at 8:01 PM, jazzbearz wrote: > Clinton, > Thanks.
