Whitespace tokenizer

Whitespace tokenizer

The whitespace tokenizer breaks text into terms whenever it encounters a whitespace character.

Example output

  1. POST _analyze
  2. {
  3.   "tokenizer": "whitespace",
  4.   "text": "The 2 QUICK Brown-Foxes jumped over the lazy dog's bone."
  5. }

The above sentence would produce the following terms:

  1. [ The, 2, QUICK, Brown-Foxes, jumped, over, the, lazy, dog's, bone. ]

Configuration

The whitespace tokenizer accepts the following parameters:

max_token_length

The maximum token length. If a token is seen that exceeds this length then it is split at max_token_length intervals. Defaults to 255.
