[multi_match] unknown token [START_ARRAY] after [query]

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I am trying to fetch fields within same attribute to send response.

Fetch "abc" "yui" pattern from full_message attribute.

GET /my_index/_search
{
"query": {
"multi_match": {
"query": [ "abc" , "yui" ] ,
"fields": "full_message"
}
}
}

Response:-

{
"error": {
"root_cause": [
{
"type": "parsing_exception",
"reason": "[multi_match] unknown token [START_ARRAY] after [query]",
"line": 4,
"col": 18
}
],
"type": "parsing_exception",
"reason": "[multi_match] unknown token [START_ARRAY] after [query]",
"line": 4,
"col": 18
},
"status": 400
}

Can someone please help

Hi @anujtom Welcome!

The query is incorrect, try as the documentation says:

GET /_search
{
  "query": {
    "multi_match" : {
      "query":    "this is a test", 
      "fields": [ "subject", "message" ] 
    }
  }
}
