ES search and indexing question

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,

I am trying to integrate ElasticSearch into a web app. When I do a search
for some word, I want ElasticSearch to give me back all the questions and
replies that contain my search keyword.

Currently, I have a question and reply indexed as such:

_index: "community_id_123"
_type: "question"
question: "Hello How are you

_index: "community_id_123"
_type: "reply"
question: "hey you fine"

So, if I wanted to search for the word "you" in both a reply and a
question, I would have to perform two CURL calls, one for question and
reply. Is there a better way to do this? Is there a way where I wouldn't
have to perform two CURL calls?

You can query on a type, on an index or on the whole cluster:

curl localhost:9200/community_id_123/question/_search?...
curl localhost:9200/community_id_123/_search?...
curl localhost:9200/_search?...

Also:
curl localhost:9200/community_id_123/question,answer/_search?...

Hello David,

Thank you for answering my question. I tried what you said and it worked. I
am just starting to integrate Elasticsearch in a app as its search engine.
Expect a lot of questions from me! Thank you again for the help. :slight_smile:

Have a look at http://www.scrutmydocs.org project.
It's an open source webapp which integrates ES. It's only a start but you can find some ideas there.
