Ah!! I tried and it didn't work but now I realise it was because we where parsing some special characters because of a problem searching with wildcard ( [Search problem with query\_string and special characters](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/search-problem-with-query-string-and-special-characters/36366) )

I should have tested better.. Thank you so much!!
