Whitespace tokenizer [analysis-whitespace-tokenizer]

The whitespace tokenizer breaks text into terms whenever it encounters a whitespace character.

Example output [_example_output_19]

POST _analyze
{
  "tokenizer": "whitespace",
  "text": "The 2 QUICK Brown-Foxes jumped over the lazy dog's bone."
}

The above sentence would produce the following terms:

[ The, 2, QUICK, Brown-Foxes, jumped, over, the, lazy, dog's, bone. ]

Configuration [_configuration_22]

The whitespace tokenizer accepts the following parameters:

max_token_length
The maximum token length. If a token is seen that exceeds this length then it is split at max_token_length intervals. Defaults to 255.
