Hi all,
I want to make the \_id searchable/retrievable and copy its value to a field
defined as "\_ft".
This is my mapping.
{
"_default_": {
"dynamic": "true",
"\_all": {
"enabled": false
},
"\_id" : {
"index" : "not\_analyzed",
"store" : true,
"copy\_to": "\_ft"
},
"properties": {
"document": {
"properties": {
"\_ft": {
"type": "string",
"analyzer": "icu"
}
}
}
}
However, I noticed that after applying this mapping, the \_id is still not
searchable.
To be clear, I want to use the Query String mode to search in the \_ids as
well.
Is this possible and how should my mapping look like in order to support
this?
Cheers,
/JZ

Hello ,
There is a ids query , that might be helpful here.
LINK -
> **[IDs | Elasticsearch Guide \[8.11\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-ids-query.html)**
Also a direct query on \_id is working for me -
{
"query": {
"query\_string": {
"query": "\_id:1116275896960111667sdsd7328349520"
}
}
}
Thanks
