Hi, I currently use Solr but am wanting to adopt ES. All my queries are basic lucene fielded queries. Can ES accept low level lucene query syntax queries? thanks ---

Yes, check the query DSL which maps to all available Lucene queries, and has some extensions: [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/query-dsl/) .

Hi Shay, Thanks for the tip. However, from what I read it seems I need to "map" my query to the DSL? I want to take a lucene query _string_ (e.g. "field\_1:value1 AND field\_2:value2" etc.) and hand it over to ES without parsing or mapping. Is this possible? thanks!

Have a look at the query\_string part of the DSL. Jérémie On Mon, Nov 28, 2011 at 7:35 PM, project2501 [darreng5150@gmail.com](mailto:darreng5150@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi Shay, > Thanks for the tip.
