You can use stem_exclusion with this language analyzer using the following command:

PUT index_with_stem_exclusion_catalan_analyzer
{
  "settings": {
    "analysis": {
      "analyzer": {
        "stem_exclusion_catalan_analyzer": {

    • stemmer (Catalan)

        }
      },
      "analyzer": {
        "catalan_analyzer": {

            "catalan_stop",
            "catalan_keywords",

        "type": "text",
        "analyzer": "catalan_analyzer"

Generated tokens

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

POST /catalan-index/_analyze
{
  "field": "content",
  "text": "Els estudiants estudien a les universitats catalanes. Els seus números són 123456."
}

The response contains the generated tokens:

{
  "tokens": [
    {"token": "estud","start_offset": 4,"end_offset": 14,"type": "<ALPHANUM>","position": 1},
    {"token": "estud","start_offset": 15,"end_offset": 23,"type": "<ALPHANUM>","position": 2},
    {"token": "univer","start_offset": 30,"end_offset": 42,"type": "<ALPHANUM>","position": 5},
    {"token": "catalan","start_offset": 43,"end_offset": 52,"type": "<ALPHANUM>","position": 6},
    {"token": "numer","start_offset": 63,"end_offset": 70,"type": "<ALPHANUM>","position": 9},
    {"token": "123456","start_offset": 75,"end_offset": 81,"type": "<NUM>","position": 11}
  ]
