Elasticsearch: Specifying language analyzer

You can specify language analyzer for a field like below.

PUT /blog/_mappings/posts
{
  "properties":{
    "title" :{
      "type" : "string",
      "analyzer":"english"
    }
  }
}

In above case field title uses “English” analyzer instead of default standard analyzer.

GET /blog/_analyze?field=title
{
  "Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter."
}

Response like below.
