The error indicates that the specified analyzer is not found in the Elasticsearch configuration. To resolve this issue, you can either create a new custom analyzer with the specified name or change your request to use one of the built-in analyzers. Also, ensure that the analyzer is correctly defined in your index settings and there are no typographical errors in the analyzer’s name.

 throw new QueryShardException(context; "[" + NAME + "] analyzer [" + analyzer + "] not found");
 }  final MatchQueryParser queryParser = new MatchQueryParser(context);
 if (analyzer != null) {
 queryParser.setAnalyzer(analyzer);
