Language Analyzers

Language-specific analyzers provide a convenient way to create indexes tailored to a particular language. Each language analyzer has built-in stopwords and word divisions based on that language's usage patterns.

Atlas Search offers the following language analyzers:

The following example index definition specifies an index on the sujet field using the french analyzer:

{
"mappings": {
"fields": {
"sujet": {
"type": "string",
"analyzer": "lucene.french"
}
}
}
}

Consider a collection named voitures with the following documents:

{ "_id": 1, "sujet": "Mieux équiper nos voitures pour comprendre les causes d'un accident." }
{ "_id": 2, "sujet": "Le meilleur moment pour le faire c'est immédiatement après que vous aurez fait le plein de carburant." }

The following query uses the index on the sujet field:

db.voitures.aggregate([
{
$search: {
"text": {
"query": "pour",
"path": "sujet"
}
}
}
])

The above query returns no results when using the french analyzer, because pour is a built-in stop word. Using the standard analyzer, the same query would return both documents.

The following query searches for the string carburant in the sujet field:

db.voitures.aggregate([
{
$search: {
"text": {
"query": "carburant",
"path": "sujet"
}
}
}
])

The above query returns the document with "_id": 2 from the collection.

{ "_id": 2, "sujet": "Le meilleur moment pour le faire c'est immédiatement après que vous aurez fait le plein de carburant." }
