# Keyword analyzer

The `keyword` analyzer doesn't tokenize text at all. Instead, it treats the entire input as a single token and does not break it into individual tokens. The `keyword` analyzer is often used for fields containing email addresses, URLs, or product IDs and in other cases where tokenization is not desirable.

## Example

Use the following command to create an index named `my_keyword_index` with a `keyword` analyzer:

```json
PUT /my_keyword_index
{
"mappings": {
"properties": {
"my_field": {
"type": "text",
"analyzer": "keyword"
}
}
}
}
```
{% include copy-curl.html %}

## Configuring a custom analyzer

Use the following command to configure an index with a custom analyzer that is equivalent to the `keyword` analyzer:

```json
PUT /my_custom_keyword_index
{
"settings": {
"analysis": {
"analyzer": {
"my_keyword_analyzer": {
"tokenizer": "keyword"
}
}
}
}
}
```
{% include copy-curl.html %}

## Generated tokens

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

```json
POST /my_custom_keyword_index/_analyze
{
"analyzer": "my_keyword_analyzer",
"text": "Just one token"
}
```
{% include copy-curl.html %}

The response contains the generated tokens:

```json
{
"tokens": [
{
"token": "Just one token",
"start_offset": 0,
"end_offset": 14,
"type": "word",
"position": 0
}
]
}
```
