Smart Chinese analysis plugin

edit

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.
