Illegal Characters?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi All -

Is there a list of characters that are "illegal" in query strings?

For example, I'm seeing errors when I perform the following search:

{
"query":
{
"field" :
{
"username" : "hello{World"
}
}
}

It appears the bracket is what is causing the error. I also noticed a
parenthesis will cause the same errors.

Thanks.

Hiya

It's not so much that characters are illegal, as that they have a
certain meaning:

See Apache Lucene - Query Parser Syntax
and especially:

Great.
Thanks for pointing out those links.
I was hoping this was the case.

Cheers!
