Exists query?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

hi,
is there a query equivalent for exists filter in ES? i want to create a
query to check for the absence of a field in the document. i can't use
filter since i want to put it inside a query and add it to the percolator.

how do i achieve this, any ideas?

thanks

It's a filter. Use a filteredQuery with a matchAllQuery as the Query and a missingFilter as a Filter.

It should work.

Does it help ?
