Hi there, I'm trying to understand, why search within root and nested objects works in ES 1.7 and now it dosn't work in ES 7.13. May be I'm missing something? I use the following index mapping and search requests: ES 1.7 index mapping ```auto { "test_index": { "aliases": {}, "mappings": { "doc": { "properties": { "nested_field": { "properties": { "nested_field_one": { "type": "string" } } }, "root_field_one": { "type": "string" } } }, "objects": { "properties": { "nested_field": { "type": "nested", "properties": { "nested_field_one": { "type": "string", "fields": { "raw": { "type": "string" } } } } }, "root_field_one": { "type": "string", "fields": { "raw": { "type": "string" } } } } } }, "settings": { "index": { "creation_date": "1624954705360", "number_of_shards": "5", "number_of_replicas": "1", "version": { "created": "1070699" }, "uuid": "HcpzYGoJTbas9j3-PVWdsA" } }, "warmers": {} } } ``` Search request: POST test\_index/\_search ```auto { "query": { "query_string": { "query": "root AND nested" } }, "size": 10, "from": 0, "sort": [] } ``` Response: ```auto { "took": 1, "timed_out": false, "_shards": { "total": 5, "successful": 5, "failed": 0 }, "hits": { "total": 1, "max_score": 0.16273327, "hits": [ { "_index": "test_index", "_type": "doc", "_id": "1", "_score": 0.16273327, "_source": { "nested_field": [ { "nested_field_one": "nested field text" } ], "root_field_one": "root field text" } } ] } } ``` ES 7.13 index mapping ```auto { "test_index": { "aliases": {}, "mappings": { "properties": { "nested_field": { "type": "nested", "properties": { "nested_field_one": { "type": "text", "fields": { "raw": { "type": "text" } } } } }, "root_field_one": { "type": "text", "fields": { "raw": { "type": "text" } } } } }, "settings": { "index": { "routing": { "allocation": { "include": { "_tier_preference": "data_content" } } }, "number_of_shards": "1", "provided_name": "test_index", "creation_date": "1624956038877", "number_of_replicas": "1", "uuid": "IEP4vqxtT06QvuXBWxly0A", "version": { "created": "7130199" } } } } } ``` Search request: POST test\_index/\_search ```auto { "query": { "query_string": { "query": "root AND nested" } }, "size": 10, "from": 0, "sort": [] } ``` Response: ```auto { "took": 2, "timed_out": false, "_shards": { "total": 1, "successful": 1, "skipped": 0, "failed": 0 }, "hits": { "total": { "value": 0, "relation": "eq" }, "max_score": null, "hits": [] } } ``` ---

The document you found in Elasticsearch 1.7 was of type `doc`. If you look at the mappings you have not specified `"type": "nested"` for this but you have done so for the Elasticsearch 7.13 mapping. As the mapping is different you get different results. ---

Thank you, really appreciate your help. I tried to change the index mapping for Elasticsearch 1.7 to the following, but I still can get search result for both root and nested fields, my understanding, it should not work, but it does 🙂 ) ES 1.7 index mapping ```auto { "test_index_new": { "aliases": {}, "mappings": { "objects": { "properties": { "nested_field": { "type": "nested", "properties": { "nested_field_one": { "type": "string", "fields": { "raw": { "type": "string" } } } } }, "root_field_one": { "type": "string", "fields": { "raw": { "type": "string" } } } } } }, "settings": { "index": { "creation_date": "1625209549926", "number_of_shards": "5", "number_of_replicas": "1", "version": { "created": "1070699" }, "uuid": "bDz3J4wURVGwUT04Iq0ZcA" } }, "warmers": {} } } ``` Search request: ```auto { "query": { "query_string": { "query": "nested AND root" } }, "size": 10, "from": 0, "sort": [] } ``` Response: ```auto { "took": 1, "timed_out": false, "_shards": { "total": 5, "successful": 5, "failed": 0 }, "hits": { "total": 1, "max_score": 0.53033006, "hits": [ { "_index": "test_index_new", "_type": "objects", "_id": "1", "_score": 0.53033006, "_source": { "nested_field": [ { "nested_field_one": "nested field text" } ], "root_field_one": "root field text" } } ] } } ``` ---

Then I do not know. Elasticsearch 1.7 is so old that I have not touched it in years. If this was a possible back then or a bug I do not know. ---

Yes, it was also my thoughts, bug or not documented feature of Elasticsearch 1.7. Thank you. ---
