Exactly default standard analyzer is meant for text analysis. ??? is not a word either a number so it's removed. If you need to analyze that, you should try to use another analyzer like: http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/analysis-whitespace-analyzer.html#analysis-whitespace-analyzer

It seems like the standard analyzer is just stripping this string out when tokenizing. probably because its treating a ? as a end of word and filtering it out? when doing _analyze?analyzer=standard&pretty' -d 'this is a ??? test' I get back the response below which seems to confirm that. Is there any way where I could still be filtering out "?" at the end of words, but if there are multiple '??' it doesn't strip them? { "tokens" : [ { "token" : "this", "start_offset" : 0, "end_offset" : 4, "type" : "<ALPHANUM>", "position" : 1 }, { "token" : "is", "start_offset" : 5, "end_offset" : 7, "type" : "<ALPHANUM>", "position" : 2 }, { "token" : "a", "start_offset" : 8, "end_offset" : 9, "type" : "<ALPHANUM>", "position" : 3 }, { "token" : "test", "start_offset" : 15, "end_offset" : 19, "type" : "<ALPHANUM>", "position" : 4 } ] } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
