Different results with command line search vs JSON file based search

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

Please help me understand my mistake here.

I have a keyword field KEYWORDS the content for which is getting lower
cased during indexing. I used the Inquisitor plugin to see if the analyzers
behave like they should.

When searching, this command

curl -XPOST
'http://localhost:9200/index/_search?pretty=1&fields=title&q=KEYWORDS:KEYW*'

yields hits.

But when I execute

curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/index/_search?pretty=1&fields=title' -d
@search_request.json

with search_request.json:

{
"query": {
"wildcard": {
"KEYWORDS": "KEYW*"
}
}
}

there are no hits. Only when I lower case the term in the JSON file
to"keyw*" manually there are results.

Please, what is the difference between the two search requests?

Thank you,
Rene

A wildcard query does not analyze the term:

The equivalent query for the first query would be a query_string query:

Thank you, Ivan,

While a wildcard query does not analyze a term, I was under the impressione
that wildcard terms get lowercased nevertheless, courtesy of Lucene.
Probably not true any longer for a long time...

Thanks,
Rene
