Does elasticsearch analyze field data if it is not indexed?

We are testing a template found on the web to process Exchange data from filebeat \> logstash \> elasticsearch.

The template mapped to the exchange indexes has the following in it:

},  
"recipient\_address": {  
"type": "text",  
"index": "false"  
},  
"related\_recipient\_address": {  
"type": "text",  
"index": "false"  
},  
"sender\_address": {  
"type": "text",  
"index": "false"  
},

If the index parameter is set to false in the template, does the data get processed by the default analyzer?

The data is not indexed, so it is not analyzed.
