Good morning,

How can I search using a wildcard and \_all the fields?

I have this analyzer:

POST filtreclient\_caste/\_analyze  
{  
"analyzer": "full\_name",  
"text": "001-000009"  
}

{  
"tokens": [  
{  
"token": "001-000009",  
"start\_offset": 0,  
"end\_offset": 10,  
"type": "word",  
"position": 0  
}  
]  
}

And I would like get results if I write this search:

GET filtreclient\_caste/\_search  
{  
"from": 0,  
"size": 10,  
"query": {  
"bool": {  
"should": [  
{  
"wildcard": {  
"\_all": {  
"value": "001-\*",  
"boost": 1  
}  
}  
}  
]  
}  
}  
}

Is possible?

Thanks in advance

The \_all field is analysed, so that will not work. There is however an `all_fields` option available [for the query string query](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.6/query-dsl-query-string-query.html), which might be suitable. To work like you have outlined, I do however believe all fields you want to search must be available with `keyword` mapping (required for regex match). I am not sure what performance would be like as any regex query its expensive and I have not tested this.
