How can I use multi_match and partial keyword

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I refined my query to the following:

curl -XGET
'http://localhost:9200/venues,events,offers,users/_search?pretty=true' -d '
{
"query" : {

                "indices" : {
                    "indices" : ["venues", "events", "users", "offers"],
                    "query" : {
                        "multi_match" : {
                            "query" : "Evo*",
                            "fields" : ["name^4", "first_name^4",

"last_name^4", "town^3.5", "_all^0.5"]
}
}
}

}

}'

The problem now is that the * in the query doesn't take effect. i.e. If I
use "Evo*" a node which has name="Evoke" doesn't show in the results,
while if I search for "Evoke" it show the desired result.

So the question is: How to search for partial term within the field.

Thank you in advance.

Try with evo* (lowercase).

The indexes are populated from jdbc river, so I will try to create an
example. The behavior is the same. HTH

Here it is:
curl -XDELETE 'http://localhost:9200/test_venues'
curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/test_venues'
curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/test_venues/test_venue/_mapping' -d '
{
"test_venue" : {
"properties" : {
"object" : { "type" : "string" },
"id" : { "type" : "integer" },
"name" : { "type" : "string" }
}
}
}'
curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/test_venues/test_venue/1' -d '{
"object" : "Venue",
"id" : 1,
"name" : "Evoke"
}'
curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/test_venues/test_venue/2' -d '{
"object" : "Venue",
"id" : 1,
"name" : "Evo"
}'

curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/test_venues/_search?pretty=true' -d '
{
"query" : {
"indices" : {
"indices" : ["test_venues"],
"query" : {
"multi_match" : {
"query" : "evo*",
"fields" : ["name^4", "_all^1"]
}
}
}
}
}'

match query and multi match query does not support wildcards.
That said, it's often a bad practice in elasticsearch using wildcards queries because they are slow.

You should may be change your mapping and use ngrams or edge ngrams for your field.

And just query this field with "evo" without any wildcard.
