## Legacy tokenizer
+!!! danger
+ The Legacy tokenizer is deprecated and will be removed in Nominatim 5.0.
+ If you still use a database with the legacy tokenizer, you must reimport
+ it using the ICU tokenizer below.
+
The legacy tokenizer implements the analysis algorithms of older Nominatim
versions. It uses a special Postgresql module to normalize names and queries.
This tokenizer is automatically installed and used when upgrading an older
```
This is in particular useful when the database runs on a different server.

+See [Advanced installations](../admin/Advanced-Installations.md#using-an-external-postgresql-database) for details.
There are no other configuration options for the legacy tokenizer. All
normalization functions are hard-coded.
``` yaml
normalization:
- ":: lower ()"
- - "ß > 'ss'" # German szet is unimbigiously equal to double ss

transliteration:
- !include /etc/nominatim/icu-rules/extended-unicode-to-asccii.yaml
- ":: Ascii ()"
The normalization and transliteration sections each define a set of
ICU rules that are applied to the names.

any information that is not relevant for search at all. Usual rules to be
applied here are: lower-casing, removing of special characters, cleanup of
spaces.

#### Token Analysis
##### Postcode token analyzer
The analyzer `postcodes` is pupose-made to analyze postcodes. It supports
-a 'lookup' varaint of the token, which produces variants with optional
+a 'lookup' variant of the token, which produces variants with optional
spaces. Use together with the clean-postcodes sanitizer.
The analyzer cannot be customized.
