Entity extraction without indexing?

[homerlex]

Is it possible to use this to do entity extraction on an arbitrary blurb of text without indexing said text?

The use case is we have a paragraph of text that we want to do some entity extraction on (pull out people name) but don't want that text stored in the index.

you could use the Simulate Pipeline API for this.

This is built into Elasticsearch, so does not require any changes in this plugin.
