Filtered index alias configuration

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

Just starting out with Elasticsearch. I am storing Documents and would like
to create an alias to access them by the municipality_state field in the
Document. I have added an alias with a filter to the 'documents' index
which I would have expected to work and is not.

I created two aliases in the 'documents' index: 'alias1' without a filter
(working as expected) and 'alias2' with a filter (not working as expected).
Any thoughts about why or guidance of things to try?

Thanks,
Matt

I suppose that your field is analyzed so I suggest to filter with lowercase : ma
But I don't know if ma could be a common english word.
Just test to see if it works.

Another suggestion is to set your mapping for this field not to be analyzed. I recommand this last approach.

Hope this helps.

Thank you. Both suggestions worked and I will use the index field mapping
as you suggest.

{

  • municipalities:
    {
    • municipality:
      {
      • properties:
        {
        • full_name:
          {
          • type: "string"
            },
        • name:
          {
          • type: "string"
            },
        • slug:
          {
          • type: "string"
            },
        • state:
          {
          • type: "string",
          • index: "not_analyzed"
            }
            }
            }
            }

}

Matt
