Decimal digit token filter

Converts all digits in the Unicode Decimal_Number General Category to 0-9. For example, the filter changes the Bengali numeral ৩ to 3.

This filter uses Lucene’s DecimalDigitFilter.

Example

The following analyze API request uses the decimal_digit filter to convert Devanagari numerals to 0-9:

  1. GET /_analyze
  2. {
  3.   "tokenizer" : "whitespace",
  4.   "filter" : ["decimal_digit"],
  5.   "text" : "१-one two-२ ३"
  6. }

The filter produces the following tokens:

  1. [ 1-one, two-2, 3]

Add to an analyzer

The following create index API request uses the decimal_digit filter to configure a new custom analyzer.

  1. PUT /decimal_digit_example
  2. {
  3.   "settings": {
  4.     "analysis": {
  5.       "analyzer": {
  6.         "whitespace_decimal_digit": {
  7.           "tokenizer": "whitespace",
  8.           "filter": [ "decimal_digit" ]
  9.         }
  10.       }
  11.     }
