I have a nested structure, where I am capturing labels against their language, thus: ``` "label": { "en": [ "Ontology Inverse Functional Property Type" ] }, ``` My question: what does a query look like to find an object with a label such as that one? or one for a different language?

You want something like: curl localhost:9200/\_search -d ' { "query": { "match": { "label.en": "property type" } } }' clint On 25 January 2014 02:00, Jack Park [jackpark@topicquests.org](mailto:jackpark@topicquests.org) wrote: > I have a nested structure, where I am capturing labels against their > language, thus: > > ``` > "label": { > "en": [ > "Ontology Inverse Functional Property Type" > ] > }, > > ``` > > My question: what does a query look like to find an object with a > label such as that one? or one for a different language? > > Many thanks in advance > Jack > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "elasticsearch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com). > To view this discussion on the web visit > [https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elasticsearch/CAH6s0fyew1gbDsCj%2BQ%3DgjiH-K6BTKsWseBCg8aJDjA7MpAkjzA%40mail.gmail.com](https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elasticsearch/CAH6s0fyew1gbDsCj%2BQ%3DgjiH-K6BTKsWseBCg8aJDjA7MpAkjzA%40mail.gmail.com) > . > For more options, visit [https://groups.google.com/groups/opt\_out](https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Great idea! Close, but didn't work, but that got me to playing with QueryBuilders.matchQuery, landing on this: { "match" : { "label.en" : { "query" : "Ontology Inverse Functional Property Type", "type" : "boolean" } } } which worked fine! It did not occur to me that one could treat the query as a path query along nested properties. Many thanks.
