Bug or feature? different results when querying using -d '{}' and ?q=

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,
I am noticing strange behaviour on my elastic search installation. I'm
using couchdb river and the following query:

curl -XGET http://localhost:9200/product_test/product_test/_search -d
'
{
"query": {
"term": {
"firstName": "Lorem"
}
}
}'

returns 0 results:
{"took":5,"timed_out":false,"_shards":{"total":5,"successful":
5,"failed":0},"hits":{"total":0,"max_score":null,"hits":[]}}

While the request:
curl -XGET http://localhost:9200/product_test/product_test/_search?q=firstName:Lorem

returns expected result:
{
"took" : 2,
"timed_out" : false,
"_shards" : {
"total" : 5,
"successful" : 5,
"failed" : 0
},
"hits" : {
"total" : 1,
"max_score" : 0.13424811,
"hits" : [ {
"_index" : "product_test",
"_type" : "product_test",
"_id" : "e66fe7d98b65e41d97059538f5019644",
"_score" : 0.13424811, "_source" :
{"_rev":"1-6ace531ad6ce61f232c4b0931bb83671","call":
{"phone":"123456"},"form":{"lastName":"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
consectetur adipiscing elit. Fusce eget tellus venenatis enim interdum
malesuada at a nibh. Proin tempor pretium aliquet. Integer dui mi,
placerat ut vulputate quis, imperdiet quis arcu. Donec elementum

{"assigned":"johnDoe"}}
} ]
}
}

What makes it even stranger is that when I pass the search in
lowercase, it works:
{
"query": {
"term": {
"firstName": "Lorem"
}
}
}

I haven't seen much info about this in the doc. What I want, is to
perform search only in those documents, which have been assigned to
certain user (property with a certain value) and I need this to be
case sensitive...

I'm using elasticsearch 0.17.9

Thanks for pointing me to the right docs :slight_smile:

By passing it in lowercase, i meant:

{
"query": {
"term": {
"firstName": "lorem"
}
}
}

A typo in my first post

Using q= in the URI ends up being translated to a query_string query, not a
term query. The query_string query analyzes the text you provide to search.
