Baseform is an analysis plugin for Elasticsearch.
With the baseform analysis, you can use a token filter for reducing word forms to their base form.
Currently, only baseforms for german and english are implemented.
Example: the german base form of zurückgezogen is zurückziehen.

In the settings, set up a token filter of type "baseform" and language "de"::
{
"index":{
"analysis":{
"filter":{
"baseform":{
"type" : "baseform",
"language" : "de"
}
},
"tokenizer" : {
"baseform" : {
"type" : "standard",
"filter" : [ "baseform" ]
}
}
}
}
}
By using such a tokenizer, the sentence "Die Jahresfeier der Rechtsanwaltskanzleien auf dem Donaudampfschiff hat viel Ökosteuer gekostet" will be tokenized into "Die", "Die", "Jahresfeier", "Jahresfeier", "der", "der", "Rechtsanwaltskanzleien", "Rechtsanwaltskanzlei", "auf", "auf", "dem", "der", "Donaudampfschiff", "Donaudampfschiff", "hat", "haben", "viel", "viel", "Ökosteuer", "Ökosteuer", "gekostet", "kosten"
It is recommended to add the Unique token filter to skip tokens that occur more than once.
In the settings, given this token filter of type "baseform" and language "en" has been set up::
{
"index" : {
"analysis" : {
"filter" : {
"baseform" : {
"type" : "baseform",
"language" : "en"
}
},
"analyzer" : {
"baseform" : {
"tokenizer" : "standard",
"filter" : [ "baseform", "unique" ]
}
}
}
}
}
Then, with the text::
“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up, and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.’
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice and sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today!”
this token stream will be produced::
"I","have","a","dream","that","one","day","this","nation","will","rise","up","and","live","out",
"the","true","meaning","mean","of","its","creed","We","hold","these","truths","truth","to","be",
"self","evident","all","men","man","are","created","create","equal","on","red","hills","hill",
"Georgia","sons","son","former","slaves","slave","owners","owner","able","sit","down","together",
"at","table","brotherhood","even","state","Mississippi","sweltering","swelter","with","heat",
"injustice","oppression","transformed","transform","into","an","oasis","freedom","justice","my",
"four","little","children","child","in","where","they","not","judged","judge","by","color","their",
"skin","but","content","character","today"
As an alternative, separate dictionaries for en-verbs and en-nouns are available.
