=== ASCII Folding Token Filter
=== ASCII folding token filter

<titleabbrev>ASCII folding</titleabbrev>
++++

A token filter of type `asciifolding` that converts alphabetic, numeric,
and symbolic Unicode characters which are not in the first 127 ASCII
characters (the "Basic Latin" Unicode block) into their ASCII
equivalents, if one exists. Example:
Converts alphabetic, numeric, and symbolic characters that are not in the Basic
Latin Unicode block (first 127 ASCII characters) to their ASCII equivalent, if
one exists. For example, the filter changes `à` to `a`.

This filter uses Lucene's
https://lucene.apache.org/core/{lucene_version_path}/analyzers-common/org/apache/lucene/analysis/miscellaneous/ASCIIFoldingFilter.html[ASCIIFoldingFilter].

==== Example

The following <<indices-analyze,analyze API>> request uses the `asciifolding`
filter to drop the diacritical marks in `açaí à la carte`:

[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_analyze
{
"tokenizer" : "standard",
"filter" : ["asciifolding"],
"text" : "açaí à la carte"
}
--------------------------------------------------

The filter produces the following tokens:

[source,text]
--------------------------------------------------
[ acai, a, la, carte ]
--------------------------------------------------

/////////////////////
[source,console-result]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"tokens" : [
{
"token" : "acai",
"start_offset" : 0,
"end_offset" : 4,
"type" : "<ALPHANUM>",
"position" : 0
},
{
"token" : "a",
"start_offset" : 5,
"end_offset" : 6,
"type" : "<ALPHANUM>",
"position" : 1
},
{
"token" : "la",
"start_offset" : 7,
"end_offset" : 9,
"type" : "<ALPHANUM>",
"position" : 2
},
{
"token" : "carte",
"start_offset" : 10,
"end_offset" : 15,
"type" : "<ALPHANUM>",
"position" : 3
}
]
}

Accepts `preserve_original` setting which defaults to false but if true
will keep the original token as well as emit the folded token. For

==== Configurable parameters

`preserve_original`::
(Optional, boolean)
If `true`, emit both original tokens and folded tokens.
Defaults to `false`.

==== Customize

To customize the `asciifolding` filter, duplicate it to create the basis
for a new custom token filter. You can modify the filter using its configurable
parameters.

For example, the following request creates a custom `asciifolding` filter with
`preserve_original` set to true:
