Hi! I'm really new to Elasticsearch and I've managed to setup the elasticsearch stack with Elasticsearch, Kibana and X-Pack. I didn't setup Logstash yet, because I think I won't need it.

Anyway, indexing of documents went well and I can search through the documents in my so called index "objectsearch\_article".

My document structure looks the following (JSON extract directly from Kibana):  
{  
"\_index": "objectsearch\_article",  
"\_type": "article",  
"\_id": "40",  
"\_score": 1,  
"\_source": {  
"type": "article",  
"key": "blog-article-1",  
"path": "/blog/",  
"articleType": "blogPosting",  
"localizedfields": {  
"en": {  
"textid": "text-en-1",  
"title": "This is my text",  
},  
"de\_DE": {  
"textid": "text-de-1",  
"title": "Das ist mein Text",  
}  
}  
}  
}

I can search for an article by "root" fields like "type" or "key":  
{  
"query": {  
"bool": {  
"should": [  
{ "match": { "articleType": "blogPosting" }}  
]  
}  
}  
}

If I try to search using inner objects query I don't get any results:  
{  
"query": {  
"bool": {  
"should": [  
{ "match": { "localizedfields.de\_DE.textid": "text-de-1" }}  
]  
}  
}  
}

I also tried to use Kibana Discover to create a query but had no luck, too

Any help, hint or link is appreciated 🙂

Thank you,  
Jens
