Hi, I recently migrated from ES 0.90.3 to ES 1.1.0 but facing few issues while migration. 1. I was earlier using a field query filter based on the value of a field which is present in my document. Now, in ES 1.1.0 there is no such filter. Can anyone tell me what equivalent filter can be used. For eg, let's say I have a boolean field FIELD in my document and I want to put a filter based on the value of documents. So, I want only those documents for which this is TRUE. How can I achieve this in ES 1.1.0. 2. I searched on forums about this issue. At one place I found field query is effectively same as query\_string. I'm not getting this concept completely. Can anyone please explain this with some example. 3. Also, I'm exploring what all features are added in this new version but not able to find any proper java documentation. I found one link but that also is not complete. Any pointer to good links. Let's say I want to explore some particular query like function score, how can I find what all methods are there equivalent to query dsl in java implementation.

The field query is basically the query string query with the field explicitly defined: > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI. See into your data and find answers that matter with enterprise solutions designed to help you build, observe, and protect. Try Elasticsearch free today. The best resources for the Java API is to look at the unit tests and the equivalent REST API classes. For example, RestSearchAction, RestIndexAction, RestClusterHealthAction, etc. Cheers, Ivan On Wed, May 21, 2014 at 10:46 AM, coder [mukulnitkkr@gmail.com](mailto:mukulnitkkr@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi, > > I recently migrated from ES 0.90.3 to ES 1.1.0 but facing few issues while > migration. > > 1.

Just one confusion. let's say I want to query for a field which contains boolean value either true or false. So, writing query string with field = "true" won't search for that particular documents containing true for that boolean field. How can I achive this ? String "true" is different from boolean true, right ?

Why not use a term query/filter? Boolean fields are not analyzed, so a term query would be the best path. If you are not using the Lucene query syntax, the match query would also be preferable. I do not use string values to represent boolean/numeric entities. -- Ivan On Wed, May 21, 2014 at 8:12 PM, coder [mukulnitkkr@gmail.com](mailto:mukulnitkkr@gmail.com) wrote: > Just one confusion. let's say I want to query for a field which contains > boolean value either true or false.

Actually, I tried using the term filter but it doesn't work when the field on which it is applied is not present in all the documents. It works fine if the field is present in all the documents.
