Elasticsearch 1.0.1 - wild card text search

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi all,

I am using Java Elasticsearch API in my application. In 0.90 version of
Elasticsearch I used the following code to build a text query:

QueryBuilder qb = QueryBuilders.fieldQuery(fieldName, matchPattern);

In the new release 1.0.1 there is no fieldQuery() method in the API. I have
replaced the method by matchQuery():

QueryBuilder qb = QueryBuilders.matchQuery(fieldName, matchPattern);

but it does not behave in the same way. Looks like matchQuery() does an
exact match of a term and does not support wildcards. For example, a
pattern "d?g" will not match a term "dog" while fieldQuery() did.
Unfortunately I did not find any documentation on how to replace
fieldQuery() correctly.

My question is: How to implement wildcards functionality for 1.0.1 version
in Java API?

Thanks

You should use QueryString instead.

Thanks David,

It worked with the following code:

QueryBuilder qb = QueryBuilders.queryString(matchPattern).field(fieldName);
