Hi, I have an issue with query, I want the search case insensitive, but I don't know what's wrong with my mapping file?

the below query returns result properly.

```auto
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": [
        {
          "wildcard": {
            "booking.cparty1": {
              "wildcard": "manitoba*",
              "boost": 1
            }
          }
        }
      ],
      "disable_coord": false,
      "adjust_pure_negative": true,
      "boost": 1
    }
  }
}

```

but the blow query returns nothing

``````````````````````auto
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": [
        {
          "wildcard": {
            "booking.cparty1": {
              "wildcard": "MANITOBA*",
              "boost": 1
            }
          }
        }
      ],
      "disable_coord": false,
      "adjust_pure_negative": true,
      "boost": 1
    }
  }
}
``````````````````

Please format your code using `</>` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21) and not the citation button. It will make your post more readable.

Or use markdown style like:

Please edit your post.

Here most likely you need to search with:

```auto
"wildcard": "manitoba*"

```

or search on `booking.cparty1.keyword` field.

Dadoonet,

I cannot search with

```auto
"wildcard": "MANITOBA*"

```

WHY?

As per [Wildcard query | Elasticsearch Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-wildcard-query.html)

> Matches documents that have fields matching a wildcard expression ( **not analyzed** ).

> Note that **this query can be slow** , as it needs to iterate over many terms. In order to prevent **extremely slow wildcard queries** , a wildcard term should not start with one of the wildcards \* or ?.
