I have Indexed some data with the following mapping

1. {
2. "inventory": {
3. "products": {
4. "properties": {
5. "exp\_date": {
6. "type": "date",
7. "format": "dateOptionalTime"
8. },
9. "man\_date": {
10. "type": "date",
11. "format": "dateOptionalTime"
12. },
13. "price": {
14. "type": "long"
15. },
16. "product\_description": {
17. "type": "string"
18. },
19. "product\_name": {
20. "type": "string"
21. },
22. "quan\_available": {
23. "type": "long"
24. }
25. }
26. }
27. }
28. }

Using [108 TO 110] as query string, results unwanted document to be  
selected in search result

[https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-BI-JpAj0ymc/U3MmC9YNh2I/AAAAAAAAAYk/gEbNk9wRykc/s1600/ESrange.png](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-BI-JpAj0ymc/U3MmC9YNh2I/AAAAAAAAAYk/gEbNk9wRykc/s1600/ESrange.png)  
And when I add the field Name to the query string , the result is as  
expected.  
query string -\> price:[108 TO 110] returns correct result as follows

[https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-nx9g-\_5RFvA/U3MmzhA4MqI/AAAAAAAAAYs/nxxyMhnvlME/s1600/ESrangewithfieldname.png](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-nx9g-_5RFvA/U3MmzhA4MqI/AAAAAAAAAYs/nxxyMhnvlME/s1600/ESrangewithfieldname.png)  
Any insight for this problem will be great.

Thanks In Advance.

When you do:

"query": "[108 TO 110]"

By default, it will look in the \_all field for terms to match the above  
criteria. The \_all field is a concatenation of all your field values in the  
JSON document (which will include fields other than price).

When you do:

"query": "price:[108 TO 110]"

You are telling ES to only look in the price field to match the range.
