Normalize token text with ICU's Normalizer2

With this filter, you can normalize text in the following ways:

  • NFKC Normalization, Case Folding, and removing Ignorables (the default)
  • Using a standard Normalization mode (NFC, NFD, NFKC, NFKD)
  • Based on rules from a custom normalization mapping.

If you use the defaults, this filter is a simple way to standardize Unicode text in a language-independent way for search:

  • The case folding that it does can be seen as a replacement for LowerCaseFilter: For example, it handles cases such as the Greek sigma, so that "Μάϊος" and "ΜΆΪΟΣ" will match correctly.
  • The normalization will standardizes different forms of the same character in Unicode. For example, CJK full-width numbers will be standardized to their ASCII forms.
  • Ignorables such as Zero-Width Joiner and Variation Selectors are removed. These are typically modifier characters that affect display.
