Newbie question on searching

Jim_Mellander · November 25, 2013, 11:44pm

Hi:

For some reason I am having a lot of trouble wrapping my brain around
the Elasticsearch query capability.

I am trying to match for multiple values in specified fields

Here is what I am trying, but it returns no records:

 {
            "query": {
                    "filtered": {
                            "query" : { "match_all" : {} },
                            "filter" : {
                                    "or" : [
                                            { "term" : { "field1":

"value1" }},
{ "term" : { "field2":
"value1" }},
{ "term" : { "field1":
"value2" }},
{ "term" : { "field2":
"value2" }}
]
}
}
}
}

Hi Jim,

Any chance that you could gist a full curl recreation to understand your concern?
See http://www.elasticsearch.org/help/

Thanks David:

I am using the official python api, but I performed the curl search,
per the help page:

$ cat x
#!/bin/sh

curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/*/conn/_search' -d '{
"query": {
"filtered": {
"query": {"match_all": {}},
"filter": {
"or": [
{"term": {"field1": "value1"}},
{"term": {"field2": "value1"}},
{"term": {"field1": "value2"}},
{"term": {"field2": "value2"}}
]
}
}
}
}'

$./x
{"took":15,"timed_out":false,"_shards":{"total":240,"successful":240,"failed":0},"hits":{"total":0,"max_score":null,"hits":}}

Then, without the filter:

$ cat y
#!/bin/sh

curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/*/conn/_search' -d '{
"query": {
"filtered": {
"query": {"match_all": {}}
}
}
}'

$ ./y

{"took":10,"timed_out":false,"_shards":{"total":240,"successful":240,"failed":0},"hits":{"total":52470,"max_score":1.0,"hits":[
]}}

(and I verified that field1 and field2 are populated with and there
are records with value1 and value2 in those fields)

Thanks for taking the time to look at this - I assume there is
something wrong with the syntax of the query that is non-obvious (at
least to me).

P.S. - I searched in vain for a 'Elasticsearch for Dummies' resource -
the missing ingredient for me being a clear step-by-step methodology
and explanation of building queries for various operations - I'm
fairly certain that there are some fundamentals that I am missing, in
particular the hierarchy of the various options and how they interact.

There is no way to understand what is happening. I have no idea of what your docs look like. Mapping if any is unknown. That's the reason I gave you a link which explain in details what a curl recreation is.

Could you please follow the instructions?

It will help to run your script and try to understand what is happening without spending time on creating a test case.

Thanks.
