+=== Snowball Analyzer
+
+An analyzer of type `snowball` that uses the
+<<analysis-standard-tokenizer,standard
+tokenizer>>, with
+<<analysis-standard-tokenfilter,standard
+filter>>,
+<<analysis-lowercase-tokenfilter,lowercase
+filter>>,
+<<analysis-stop-tokenfilter,stop
+filter>>, and
+<<analysis-snowball-tokenfilter,snowball
+filter>>.
+
+The Snowball Analyzer is a stemming analyzer from Lucene that is
+originally based on the snowball project from
+http://snowball.tartarus.org[snowball.tartarus.org].
+
+Sample usage:
+
+[source,js]
+--------------------------------------------------
+{
+    "index" : {
+        "analysis" : {
+            "analyzer" : {
+                "my_analyzer" : {
+                    "type" : "snowball",
+                    "language" : "English"
+                }
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+The `language` parameter can have the same values as the
+<<analysis-snowball-tokenfilter,snowball
+filter>> and defaults to `English`. Note that not all the language
+analyzers have a default set of stopwords provided.
+
+The `stopwords` parameter can be used to provide stopwords for the
+languages that have no defaults, or to simply replace the default set
+with your custom list. Check <<analysis-stop-analyzer,Stop Analyzer>>
+for more details. A default set of stopwords for many of these
+languages is available from for instance
+https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/tree/trunk/lucene/analysis/common/src/resources/org/apache/lucene/analysis/[here]
+and
+https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/tree/trunk/lucene/analysis/common/src/resources/org/apache/lucene/analysis/snowball[here.]
+
