Filter/match/return nested objects

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi all,

I have a question on ES use.

We assume that in our schema we have a user that has many posts. We want to
search if the title or the description of a user's post contains a word and
return those posts.
Is it something doable with ES?

My try is:

{
"query" : {
"nested" : {
"path" : "posts",
"query" : {
"multi_match" : {
"query" :'foo',
"fields" : [ "posts.title", "posts.description" ]
}
}
}
}
}

However the above returns the whole user document (/object) once the
multi_match criteria are true and not filtering each post in posts. I tried
the same with nested as filter but I not much of a difference.

Thanks,
D

My first thought about it is that if you are searching for posts then index posts!
A posts can contain many attributes such as the user who wrote the post.

{
"content" :"my text here",
"user": {
"login": "mylogin",
"twitter":"myaccount"
}
}

What do you think? Could it help you to design your documents?

Hi David and Ivan,

Well my data source is a MongoDB using Richard's river plugin[1].

So afaik, since I have a mongo collection of users it's not possible to
index nested fields, or is it?

In practice I have:
http://localhost:9200/database/users/_mapping/ which gives:

{
user : {
name: {
type: "string"
},
posts : {
type: "nested",
properties: {
title: {
type: "string"
},
description: {
type: "string"
}
}
}
}
}

but this cannot be done:

http://localhost:9200/database/users/posts/_mapping

as I get "No handler found for uri".

I think as Ivan posted, is not yet supported unless there is a workaround.
Best,
D
