31. Lucene

32. Analysis

35. Lucene includes several built-in analyzers. The primary ones are shown in table 4.2.
We’ll leave discussion of the two language-specific analyzers, RussianAnalyzer
and GermanAnalyzer, to section 4.8.2 and the special per-field analyzer wrapper,
PerFieldAnalyzerWrapper, to section 4.4.
Table 4.2 Primary analyzers available in Lucene
Analyzer Steps taken
Splits tokens at whitespace
WhitespaceAnalyzer
Divides text at nonletter characters and lowercases
SimpleAnalyzer
Divides text at nonletter characters, lowercases, and removes stop words
StopAnalyzer
Tokenizes based on a sophisticated grammar that recognizes e-mail
StandardAnalyzer
addresses, acronyms, Chinese-Japanese-Korean characters,
alphanumerics, and more; lowercases; and removes stop words
The built-in analyzers we discuss in this section—WhitespaceAnalyzer, Simple-
Analyzer, StopAnalyzer, and StandardAnalyzer—are designed to work with text in
almost any Western (European-based) language. You can see the effect of each of
these analyzers in the output in section 4.2.3. WhitespaceAnalyzer and Simple-
Analyzer are both trivial and we don’t cover them in more detail here. We explore
the StopAnalyzer and StandardAnalyzer in more depth because they have non-

:untokenized Make this field searchable but do not
tokenize its contents. Use this value
for fields you wish to sort by.
:omit norms Same as :yes except omit the norms
file. The norms file can be omit-
ted if you don’t boost any fields and
you don’t need scoring based on field
length.
:untokenized omit norms Same as :untokenized except omit the
