Hey all,
I've done a bunch of searching and I haven't been able to get an answer to this question - hopefully this isn't a repeat (apologies if it is)...
Preface: I'm using Rails & Tire to perform ElasticSearch.
I have an object, Place, with attributes "name", "city", "state", and "zip". They are indexed as follows:
indexes :name, :type => 'multi_field', :fields => {
:name => { :type => 'string', :analyzer => 'snowball' },
:"name.exact" => { :type => 'string', :index => :not_analyzed }
}
indexes :city
indexes :state
indexes :zip
There are three conditions for searching: 1. Name only, 2. (City, State OR Zip), 3. Name AND (City, State OR Zip).
My code for the "query" block is:
if (City, State).present?
boolean do
must { string "name:#{name}" } if name.present?
must { string "city:#{city_state}" }
must { string "state:#{city_state}" }
end
elsif (Zip).present?
boolean do
must { string "name:#{name}" } if name.present?
must { string "zip:#{query_parameters["zip"]}" }
end
else
string "name:#{name}" }
end
The aforementioned search conditions #1 and #2 work as expected against multiple tests. However, condition 3 does not - it seems to only pay attention to the "name" field. I'm assuming it has something to do with using the "city_state" variable to search on both "city" and "state"... But I'm doing this because a user can enter either "Chicago" or "Illinois" in the City, State / Zip text box and the search should still work, using either the geographic center of Chicago or the geographic center of Illinois, respectively.
Anything obvious I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
