[[configure-text-analysis]] == Configure text analysis By default, {es} uses the <> for all text analysis. The `standard` analyzer gives you out-of-the-box support for most natural languages and use cases. If you chose to use the `standard` analyzer as-is, no further configuration is needed. If the standard analyzer does not fit your needs, review and test {es}'s other built-in <>. Built-in analyzers don't require configuration, but some support options that can be used to adjust their behavior. For example, you can configure the `standard` analyzer with a list of custom stop words to remove. If no built-in analyzer fits your needs, you can test and create a custom analyzer. Custom analyzers involve selecting and combining different <>, giving you greater control over the process. * <> * <> * <> * > include::testing.asciidoc[] include::analyzers/configuring.asciidoc[] include::analyzers/custom-analyzer.asciidoc[] include::specify-analyzer.asciidoc[]
