Hi,

We want to build a query which will search for a particular string and then it will perform a search based on the result that we have received from previous result.

Can any one help us how we can achieve this. How we can write such elastic query.

Welcome to our community! 😃

There is no such query in Elasticsearch, it's something you need to build in your own code.

You run one query in your code, collect and parse the results, then pass that to the second query.

We can used Python, but is there any way of doing it in elastic query from the UI. And also is there any way to achieve this using transform input chained data
