Hi Guys I am sort of confused why I am getting two different search results when I query against same index using webservice and ES python's API pyres. from webservice curl -XGET localhost :9201/ncbi\_taxa\_names/taxa\_names/\_search?q=tax\_name:Myxococcus[http://128.55.54.143:9201/ncbi\_taxa\_names/taxa\_names/\_search?q=tax\_name:Myxococcus](http://128.55.54.143:9201/ncbi_taxa_names/taxa_names/_search?q=tax_name:Myxococcus) {"took":5,"timed\_out":false,"\_shards":{"total":5,"successful":5,"failed":0},"hits":{"total":15," }}}} # only copying the #hits from pyres: conn.open\_index("ncbi\_taxa\_names") q = TermQuery("tax\_name","Myxococcus") results = conn.search(query=q) for r in results: print r .....: no hits : Am I missing something ? Thanks! -Abhi -- ---

ES uses a QueryString (analyzed) but you create with Pyes a TermQuery ( not analyzed ). Try this or use a TextQuery TermQuery("tax\_name","myxococcus") ## David Le 11 août 2012 à 02:04, Abhishek Pratap [abhishek.vit@gmail.com](mailto:abhishek.vit@gmail.com) a écrit : > Hi Guys > > I am sort of confused why I am getting two different search results when I query against same index using webservice and ES python's API pyres. > > from webservice > curl -XGET localhost:9201/ncbi\_taxa\_names/taxa\_names/\_search?q=tax\_name:Myxococcus > {"took":5,"timed\_out":false,"\_shards":{"total":5,"successful":5,"failed":0},"hits":{"total":15," }}}} # only copying the #hits > > from pyres: > conn.open\_index("ncbi\_taxa\_names") > q = TermQuery("tax\_name","Myxococcus") > results = conn.search(query=q) > for r in results: > print r > .....: > no hits : > > Am I missing something ? > > ## Thanks! -Abhi -- ---

Hi David Thanks for your reply. Could you please elaborate a little bit more on what you meant by analyzed string in the context of ES. I am new to ES and not quite sure if I understand it fully.

Analyze means to transform any text into tokens which will be indexed depending on your analysis rules. Default ES analyzer will remove common english words (I, am, you, are, this...). It will also lowercase everything. Then when searching, your text will be compared to indexed text. So, you have in index : myxococcus . If you search for Myxococcus without analyze, you won't find anything. If you analyze your search, Myxococcus will be transformed into myxococcus and it will match your doument. ## hope this helps David Le 13 août 2012 à 21:38, Abhishek Pratap [abhishek.vit@gmail.com](mailto:abhishek.vit@gmail.com) a écrit : > Hi David > > Thanks for your reply.

Thanks David. One more thing Any doc on what ways I can query ES using pyes. The doc on [Queries — PyES Documentation v0.17.0 (unstable) documentation](http://packages.python.org/pyes/manual/queries.html#quering) has some info but I dont see examples which I fund more useful. For example how can I create an analyzed query string in pyes for search.
