Hi

I have the following problem: I would like to create a query in  
ElasticSearch for which a field of the result should be contained in the  
query text.

Example Query:

{  
"query":{  
"match":{  
"city\_name":"Not related Text plus Wil AG"  
}  
}  
}

Result:  
{  
"\_index": "cities",  
"\_type": "city",  
"\_id": "z61KRT6QR32dTniAn0\_ApQ",  
"\_score": 6.063552,  
"\_source": {  
"country": "CH",  
"city\_name": "Birmenstorf AG"  
}  
}

I would like to define in the query that the field "city\_name" of the  
result (Birmenstorf AG) has to be contained in the query text (Not related  
Text plus Wil AG) o be a match.

Can I do this with ElasticSearch?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Regards  
Gian
