Whitespace Tokenizer

edit

The whitespace tokenizer breaks text into terms whenever it encounters a whitespace character.

Example output

edit
POST _analyze
{
  "tokenizer": "whitespace",
  "text": "The 2 QUICK Brown-Foxes jumped over the lazy dog's bone."
}

The maximum token length is 255. If a token is seen that exceeds this length, then it is split at 255 characters.

The above sentence would produce the following terms:

[ The, 2, QUICK, Brown-Foxes, jumped, over, the, lazy, dog's, bone. ]

Configuration

The whitespace tokenizer is not configurable.
