CJK width token filter

CJK width token filter

edit

Normalizes width differences in CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) characters as follows:

Folds full-width ASCII character variants into the equivalent basic Latin characters
Folds half-width Katakana character variants into the equivalent Kana characters

This filter is included in Elasticsearch’s built-in CJK language analyzer. It uses Lucene’s CJKWidthFilter.

This token filter can be viewed as a subset of NFKC/NFKD Unicode normalization. See the analysis-icu plugin for full normalization support.

Example

GET /_analyze
{
  "tokenizer" : "standard",
  "filter" : ["cjk_width"],
  "text" : "ｼｰｻｲﾄﾞﾗｲﾅｰ"
}

The filter produces the following token:

        }
      }
