In the settings I use the filter word\_delimiter\_graph and other filters to uniform some reference numbers, and I want to keep the original.

For these references: 01/01234 11-2-3.4.5/67/8  
I wish to get the output from conditional\_number\_word\_delimiter\_graph:  
01/01234, 01\_01234  
11-2-3.4.5/67/8, 11\_2\_3\_4\_5\_67\_8

How can I do it?

Here is my filter, at the output I get only:  
01\_01234  
11\_2\_3\_4\_5\_67\_8

```auto
      "number_word_delimiter_graph": {
        "type": "word_delimiter_graph",
        "catenate_words": false,
        "catenate_numbers": false,
        "generate_number_parts": false,
        "generate_word_parts": false,
        "split_on_case_change": false,
        "split_on_numerics": false,
        "catenate_all": false,
        "preserve_original": true,
        "adjust_offsets": true
      },
      "pattern_number_uniform": {
        "type": "pattern_replace",
        "pattern": "[.\\-/]",
        "replacement": "_"
      },
      "conditional_number_word_delimiter_graph": {
        "type": "condition",
        "filter": ["number_word_delimiter_graph", "pattern_number_uniform"],
        "script": {
          "lang": "painless",
          "source": "!token.isKeyword() && token.getTerm().toString().indexOf('%') < 0"
        }
      }

```

Hi @Wonder_Garance

I believe the problem is the pattern\_number\_uniform filter. After you apply the number\_word\_delimiter\_graph the next filter will replace characters and with that you will have only one token.

I see that to solve this you could create a subfield where you apply the replace filter. So you have a field with the original value and a sub with the replace rule. In the search, you will apply match the two fields.
