Generated tokens

Use the following request to examine the tokens generated using the analyzer:

POST /finnish-index/_analyze
{
  "field": "content",
  "text": "Opiskelijat opiskelevat Helsingissä ja Suomen yliopistoissa. Heidän numeronsa ovat 123456."
}

{% include copy-curl.html %}

The response contains the generated tokens:

{

    {"token": "opiskelev","start_offset": 12,"end_offset": 23,"type": "<ALPHANUM>","position": 1},
    {"token": "helsing","start_offset": 24,"end_offset": 35,"type": "<ALPHANUM>","position": 2},
    {"token": "suome","start_offset": 39,"end_offset": 45,"type": "<ALPHANUM>","position": 4},
    {"token": "yliopisto","start_offset": 46,"end_offset": 59,"type": "<ALPHANUM>","position": 5},
    {"token": "numero","start_offset": 68,"end_offset": 77,"type": "<ALPHANUM>","position": 7},
    {"token": "123456","start_offset": 83,"end_offset": 89,"type": "<NUM>","position": 9}
