4.5.3. Analyzer Definitions

Once defined, an analyzer definition can be reused by an @Analyzer annotation.

Example 4.10. Referencing an analyzer by name

@Indexed
@AnalyzerDef(name="customanalyzer", ... )
public class Team {

    @Field
    private String name;

    @Field
    private String location;

    @Field 
    @Analyzer(definition = "customanalyzer")
    private String description;
}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Analyzer instances declared by @AnalyzerDef are also available by their name in the SearchFactory, which is useful when building queries. 
Analyzer analyzer = Search.getSearchManager(cache).getSearchFactory().getAnalyzer("customanalyzer")
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
When querying, fields must use the same analyzer that has been used to index the field. The same tokens are reused between the query and the indexing process.
