You can define an analyzer both in the index_analyzer and the search_analyzer member over a field in the mapping process. Also, Elasticsearch allows you to use different analyzers in separate fields.

},
"content": {
"type": "string", "index_analyzer": "whitespace", "search_analyzer": "standard"
}
}
}
}
}'

Now, we will add a document to the blog index as follows:
curl -XPOST localhost:9200/blog/article -d '{
