please tell me what is problem in there?Is elastic having any search
string limitation or character limitation.

I''m using the following methods to get results:

SearchResponse searchResponse = client.prepareSearch(indexName)
.setSearchType(SearchType.DEFAULT).setTypes(indexType)
.setQuery(queryString(data).field(indexColumn))
.execute()
.actionGet();

Thanks

Hi Sam

I'm using Elasticsearch-0.16.2 server.my search string "09Q2 SR
Website Whitepaper: TrustedSource: The Next Generation Reputation
System for".i got following error:

The colons (':') in your string are being treated as field markers. In
the Lucene Query Parser Syntax you can specify that you want to search
in a particular field with eg "author:(john smith)"

Apache Lucene - Query Parser Syntax

You have a few choices:

  1. preprocess your search string to not include bad syntax
  2. ignore the errors
  3. use the 'text' family of queries via the query DSL instead
    of the query string syntax
