I have ES query,  
"query" : "lib/img\_folder/abc.png" for which the response is  
in 1.x : _lib_/_img\_folder_/_abc.png_  
in 2.x : _lib_/img\_folder/_abc.png_.

The expected output is as in 1.x. Please help figuring this out.  
Thanks in advance.

The entire query for reference:

{  
"query" : {  
"bool" : {  
"must" : {  
"function\_score" : {  
"query" : {  
"function\_score" : {  
"query" : {  
"query\_string" : {  
"query" : "lib/img\_folder/abc.png",  
"fields" : ["desc"]  
}  
},  
"functions" : [ {  
"filter" : {  
"query\_string" : {  
"query" : "lib/img\_folder/abc.png",  
"default\_operator" : "and"  
}  
},  
"weight" : 10.0  
} ]  
}  
},  
"functions" : []  
}  
}  
}  
},  
"highlight" : {  
"fields" : {  
"desc" : { }  
}  
}  
}
