== ICU Analysis Plugin
The http://icu-project.org/[ICU] analysis plugin allows for unicode
normalization, collation and folding. The plugin is called
https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-analysis-icu[elasticsearch-analysis-icu].
The plugin includes the following analysis components:
[float]
=== ICU Normalization
Normalizes characters as explained
http://userguide.icu-project.org/transforms/normalization[here]. It
registers itself by default under `icu_normalizer` or `icuNormalizer`
using the default settings. Allows for the name parameter to be provided
which can include the following values: `nfc`, `nfkc`, and `nfkc_cf`.
Here is a sample settings:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"index" : {
"analysis" : {
"analyzer" : {
"normalization" : {
"tokenizer" : "keyword",
"filter" : ["icu_normalizer"]
}
}
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
[float]
=== ICU Folding
Folding of unicode characters based on `UTR#30`. It registers itself
under `icu_folding` and `icuFolding` names.
The filter also does lowercasing, which means the lowercase filter can
normally be left out. Sample setting:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"index" : {
"analysis" : {
"analyzer" : {
"folding" : {
"tokenizer" : "keyword",
"filter" : ["icu_folding"]
}
}
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
[float]
==== Filtering
The folding can be filtered by a set of unicode characters with the
parameter `unicodeSetFilter`. This is useful for a non-internationalized
search engine where retaining a set of national characters which are
primary letters in a specific language is wanted. See syntax for the
UnicodeSet
http://icu-project.org/apiref/icu4j/com/ibm/icu/text/UnicodeSet.html[here].
The Following example excempt Swedish characters from the folding. Note
that the filtered characters are NOT lowercased which is why we add that
filter below.
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"index" : {
"analysis" : {
"analyzer" : {
"folding" : {
"tokenizer" : "standard",
"filter" : ["my_icu_folding", "lowercase"]
}
}
"filter" : {
"my_icu_folding" : {
"type" : "icu_folding"
"unicodeSetFilter" : "[^åäöÅÄÖ]"
}
}
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
[float]
=== ICU Collation
Uses collation token filter. Allows to either specify the rules for
collation (defined
http://www.icu-project.org/userguide/Collate_Customization.html[here])
using the `rules` parameter (can point to a location or expressed in the
settings, location can be relative to config location), or using the
`language` parameter (further specialized by country and variant). By
default registers under `icu_collation` or `icuCollation` and uses the
default locale.
Here is a sample settings:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"index" : {
"analysis" : {
"analyzer" : {
"collation" : {
"tokenizer" : "keyword",
"filter" : ["icu_collation"]
}
}
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
And here is a sample of custom collation:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"index" : {
"analysis" : {
"analyzer" : {
"collation" : {
"tokenizer" : "keyword",
"filter" : ["myCollator"]
}
},
"filter" : {
"myCollator" : {
"type" : "icu_collation",
"language" : "en"
}
}
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
