This question does not make sense to me.

A dynamic template is something applied when a new field is created.  
A query is ran when you search for documents.

Could you clarify your question?

I am having an index contains following mapping.

{  
"dynamic": false,  
"dynamic\_templates": [  
{  
"ticket\_state\_filter": {  
"match": "\*\_state",  
"mapping": {  
"type": "keyword"  
}  
}  
}  
]  
}

And Having document something like below.  
{  
"typeId": "60445e4b-03ea-4d7c-a3a3-12b8da1f2f9b",  
"typeFieldDetails": {  
"tic\_state": "AL"  
}  
}

"tic\_state" field is dynamic. it may have fieldname like '\*\_state'.  
Now I want to search on this dynamic field.  
How can I achieve this?

Thank you!

```
GET /_search?q=tic_state:AL
```

Thanks for showing interest.

But while searching I don't know the field name. I guess I need to write script for generating field name.
