[[analysis-smartcn]]
=== Smart Chinese Analysis Plugin

The Smart Chinese Analysis plugin integrates Lucene's Smart Chinese analysis
module into elasticsearch.

It provides an analyzer for Chinese or mixed Chinese-English text. This
analyzer uses probabilistic knowledge to find the optimal word segmentation
for Simplified Chinese text. The text is first broken into sentences, then
each sentence is segmented into words.

==== `smartcn` tokenizer and token filter

The plugin provides the `smartcn` analyzer, `smartcn_tokenizer` tokenizer, and
`smartcn_stop` token filter which are not configurable.

NOTE: The `smartcn_word` token filter and `smartcn_sentence` have been deprecated.

==== Reimplementing and extending the analyzers

The `smartcn` analyzer could be reimplemented as a `custom` analyzer that can
then be extended and configured as follows:

[source,console]
----------------------------------------------------
PUT smartcn_example
{
  "settings": {
    "analysis": {
      "analyzer": {
        "rebuilt_smartcn": {
          "tokenizer":  "smartcn_tokenizer",
          "filter": [
            "porter_stem",
            "smartcn_stop"
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
----------------------------------------------------
// TEST[s/\n$/\nstartyaml\n  - compare_analyzers: {index: smartcn_example, first: smartcn, second: rebuilt_smartcn}\nendyaml\n/]

[[analysis-smartcn_stop]]
==== `smartcn_stop` token filter

The `smartcn_stop` token filter filters out stopwords defined by `smartcn`
analyzer (`_smartcn_`), and any other custom stopwords specified by the user.
This filter only supports the predefined `_smartcn_` stopwords list.
If you want to use a different predefined list, then use the
{ref}/analysis-stop-tokenfilter.html[`stop` token filter] instead.
