Hi  
Basically I need to perform a search similar to LIKE condition in SQL.

Ex. Index.ColumnA LIKE Index.ColumnX

In other words I need to verify if ColumnA contains or match with Column B. It's important mention that it is not neccesary that both columns have be equals.

Regards

I don't think this can be easily done. May be with a script though? [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-script-query.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-script-query.html)

Thanks a lot your help.

I found the following script to done, but now I need set the value of my\_value with value of other field, for example my\_value : "_user\_name_".

Do you know if exist the posibility to perform this?

{  
"inline" : {  
"query": { "wildcard" : { "{{my\_field}}" : "{{my\_value}}" } },  
"size" : "{{my\_size}}"  
},  
"params" : {  
"my\_field" : "account\_name",  
"my\_value" : "_James_",  
"my\_size" : 5  
}  
}

I told you already that I don't think it's possible without a script.
