Elastic Search Query:

## GET candidates1/candidate/\_search { "fields": ["contactInfo.emails.main"], "query": { "bool": { "must": [{ "match": { "contactInfo.emails.main": "com" } }] } } }

GET candidates1/candidate/\_search  
{  
"size": 5,  
"fields": [  
"contactInfo.emails.main"  
],  
"query": {  
"match": {  
"contactInfo.emails.main": "com"  
}  
}  
}

Hi,  
When i am using the above query's i am getting results like ['nraheem@dbtech1.com','arelysf456@gmai1.com','ron@rgb52.com'] but i am not getting emails like ['pavann.aryasomayajulu@gmail.com','kumar@gmail.com','raj@yahoo.com'......]

But when i am using the query to match "[gmail.com](http://gmail.com)", i am getting results which have [gmail.com](http://gmail.com)

So My question is when i am using "com" in the first query, i am expecting results that include [gmail.com](http://gmail.com) as "com" is present in [gmail.com](http://gmail.com). But that is not happening

Note: we are having almost 2Million emailid and most of them are [gmail.com](http://gmail.com) , [yahoo.com](http://yahoo.com) or hotmail but only few are of other types like [rgb52.com](http://rgb52.com)(only 2 docs),[dbtech1.com](http://dbtech1.com)(1 doc)
