Hi Team,

I am facing an issue in elastic search,

I have 10 records in elastic search and while searching a field "URL" I am not able to get the relevant/required results for one field and for the other fields it is showing correct.

Not sure I understood what the query you sent to elasticsearch is.

Please don't post images of text as they are hardly readable and not searchable.

Instead paste the text and format it with `</>` icon. Check the preview window.

Could you avoid sending not json characters please?

Please provide a full recreation script as described in [About the Elasticsearch category](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21). It will help to better understand what you are doing. Please, try to keep the example as simple as possible.

A full reproduction script will help readers to understand, reproduce and if needed fix your problem. It will also most likely help to get a faster answer.

It might be good to share here what was wrong and how you solved it in case someone else come to the same question.
