Hi All , We are new to ES and trying very small search functionality through mustache template.We have created a index in local ES and inserted one sample record. We created a mustache template - {"query":{"template":{"inline":{"bool":{"must":[ {{#nameFilter}} {"bool" : {"should" : { "match" : { "{{fieldName}}" : "{{fieldValue}}" } }}} {{#FC}},{{/FC}} {{/nameFilter}} }}}}} My postman url - [http://localhost:9200/patientsummaryindex\_test/dvaPatientDoc/\_search/template](http://localhost:9200/patientsummaryindex_test/dvaPatientDoc/_search/template) Below is my query which I am sending in body { "file":"LatestTemplate", "params":{ "namefilter":[ { "fieldName":"name", "fieldValue":"Amol" } ] } } What we get is - { "error": { "root\_cause": [ { "type": "parsing\_exception", "reason": "[script] failed to parse field [inline]", "line": 4, "col": 1 } ], "type": "parsing\_exception", "reason": "[script] failed to parse field [inline]", "line": 4, "col": 1, "caused\_by": { "type": "unchecked\_i\_o\_exception", "reason": "com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParseException: Unexpected close marker '}': expected ']' (for Array starting at [Source: org.elasticsearch.common.bytes.BytesReference$MarkSupportingStreamInputWrapper@4b92c3c9; line: 1, column: 48])\n at [Source: org.elasticsearch.common.bytes.BytesReference$MarkSupportingStreamInputWrapper@4b92c3c9; line: 4, column: 2]", "caused\_by": { "type": "json\_parse\_exception", "reason": "Unexpected close marker '}': expected ']' (for Array starting at [Source: org.elasticsearch.common.bytes.BytesReference$MarkSupportingStreamInputWrapper@4b92c3c9; line: 1, column: 48])\n at [Source: org.elasticsearch.common.bytes.BytesReference$MarkSupportingStreamInputWrapper@4b92c3c9; line: 4, column: 2]" } } }, "status": 400 } We tried filter on many fields but the error is more or less same.The query json is correct as when we validate it. Can someone find whats wrong here ? ---

Hi , Sorry about bad formatting of my question.We are using ES 5.1.2 Below is my indexing script looks like - ```auto { "settings": { "number_of_shards": 1, "analysis": { "filter": { "nGram_filter": { "type": "nGram", "min_gram": 2, "max_gram": 20, "token_chars": [ "letter", "digit", "punctuation", "symbol" ] }, "autoComplete_nGram_filter": { "type": "nGram", "min_gram": 2, "max_gram": 20, "token_chars": [ "letter", "punctuation", "symbol" ] } }, "analyzer": { "nGram_analyzer": { "type": "custom", "tokenizer": "whitespace", "filter": [ "lowercase", "asciifolding", "nGram_filter" ] }, "autocomplete_nGram_analyzer": { "type": "custom", "tokenizer": "whitespace", "filter": [ "lowercase", "asciifolding", "autoComplete_nGram_filter" ] }, "autocomplete_search": { "type": "custom", "tokenizer": "lowercase" }, "whitespace_analyzer": { "type": "custom", "tokenizer": "whitespace", "filter": [ "lowercase", "asciifolding" ] } } } }, "mappings": { "patientDoc": { "_all": { "analyzer": "nGram_analyzer", "search_analyzer": "whitespace_analyzer" }, "properties": { "euid": { "type": "text", "term_vector": "yes", "index": "false" }, "masterPatientIdentifier": { "type": "text", "term_vector": "yes", "index": "true" }, "name": { "type": "text", "analyzer": "autocomplete_nGram_analyzer", "search_analyzer": "autocomplete_search", "index": "true" }, "dateOfBirth": { "type": "date", "index": "true" }, "assignedFacilities": { "type": "nested", "properties": { "facility": { "type": "nested", "properties": { "facilityId": { "type":"text","fielddata":"true"}, "facilityName": { "type":"text","fielddata":"true"} } }, "beginDate": { "type": "date" }, "endDate": { "type": "date" }, "isHomeFacility": { "type": "boolean" } } }, "administrativeGender": { "type": "nested", "properties": { "oid": { "type": "text" }, "conceptCode": { "type": "text" } } }, "asCitizen": { "type": "nested", "properties": { "oid": { "type": "text" }, "conceptCode": { "type": "text" } } }, "primaryDiagnosis": { "type": "nested", "properties": { "oid": { "type": "text" }, "conceptCode": { "type": "text" } } }, "actualFirstDateOfDialysis": { "type": "date", "index": "true" }, "regularChronicDialysisBegin": { "type": "date", "index": "true" }, "primaryLanguage": { "type": "nested", "properties": { "oid": { "type": "text","fielddata":"true" }, "conceptCode": { "type": "text" } } }, "secondaryLanguage": { "type": "nested", "properties": { "oid": { "type": "text" }, "conceptCode": { "type": "text" } } }, "assignedProviders": { "type": "nested", "properties": { "provider": { "type": "nested", "properties": { "providerId": { "type":"text"}, "providerType": { "type": "nested", "properties": { "oid": { "type": "text" }, "conceptCode": { "type": "text" } } }, "startDate": { "type": "date", "index": "true" }, "endDate": { "type": "date", "index": "true" }, } } } }, "ethnicity": { "type": "nested", "properties": { "oid": { "type": "text" }, "conceptCode": { "type": "text" } } }, "maritalStatus": { "type": "nested", "properties": { "oid": { "type": "text" }, "conceptCode": { "type": "text" } } }, "race": { "type": "nested", "properties": { "oid": { "type": "text" }, "conceptCode": { "type": "text" } } } } } } } ``` ---
