OpenSearch additional configuration
Some indexing languages require plugins to be installed on the OpenSearch instance to work:
Language | Plugin |
|---|---|
Polish | analysis-stempel |
Custom Japanese | analysis-kuromoji |
Korean | analysis-nori |
To install plugins on a self managed OpenSearch instance, follow this guide Installing plugins. On AWS OpenSearch, analysis-stempel and analysis-kuromoji are installed by default. The analysis-nori plugin is an optional plugin that can be added to your domain, see Plugins by engine version in Amazon OpenSearch Service.
If you switch the indexing language while using OpenSearch, you will need to perform a full reindex.
