How to not-analyze in ElasticSearch?

Question

I've got a field in an ElasticSearch field which I do not want to have analyzed, i. e. it should be stored and compared verbatim. The values will contain letters, numbers, whitespace, dashes, slashes and maybe other characters.

If I do not give an analyzer in my mapping for this field, the default still uses a tokenizer which hacks my verbatim string into chunks of words. I don't want that.

Is there a super simple analyzer which, basically, does not analyze? Or is there a different way of denoting that this field shall not be analyzed?

I only create the index, I don't do anything else. I can use analyzers like "english" for other fields which seems to be built-in names for pre-configured analyzers. Is there a list of other names? Maybe there's one fitting my needs (namely doing nothing with the input).

This is my mapping currently:

{   "my_type": {     "properties": {       "my_field1": { "type": "string", "analyzer": "english" },       "my_field2": { "type": "string" }     }   } } 

my_field1 is language-dependent; this seems to work. my_field2 shall be verbatim. I'd like to give an analyzer there which simply does not do anything.

A sample value for my_field2 would be "B45c 14/04".

"my_field2": {     "properties": {         "title": {             "type": "string",             "index": "not_analyzed"         }     } }
