Query on _search not working for _count

JP_Toto · April 16, 2012, 6:07pm

Hey guys! Hoping you can see what's going on with this more quickly than I
can.

This query:

{"filter":{"and":[{"term":{"SID":"49"}},{"term":{"BI":"true"}},{"term":{"TA":"Tag
Test"}},{"term":{"TY":"2"}},{"query":{"query_string":{"fields":["RE","SU"],"query":""john@test.com"","default_operator":"AND"}}}]}}

Works for _search but not for _count. Thoughts??

Count throws a No query registered for [filter]] error.

Hiya

{"filter":{"and":[{"term":{"SID":"49"}},{"term":{"BI":"true"}},{"term":{"TA":"Tag Test"}},{"term":{"TY":"2"}},{"query":{"query_string":{"fields":["RE","SU"],"query":""john@test.com"","default_operator":"AND"}}}]}}

Look at the docs for search
Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic and for count Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic
and you'll soon see the difference

Thanks, Clint! Yeah I've been checking those as best I can today. I'm a
little new to ES so it's not jumping out at me at the moment

The search API accepts 'query' and 'filter' parameters, eg:

{
query: { match_all: {}
}

The count API accepts a query, eg:
{
match_all: {}
}

Inconsistent, I know... but that's how it is at the moment

Ohhh I see. Gotcha. I appreciate the tip. Just have to figure out how to
rewrite this now for _count. Thanks!

Clint,

Is it even possible to filter "queries", then, for _count?

Yes, that's what the filtered query

and the constant score query

are used for.

The 'filter' param on the search API is used for filtering results AFTER
facets have been calculated. For other uses of filters, it is better to
use the filtered or constant score queries instead.

One more thing, you can use search_type set to count in the search request
URI, and execute regular search requests and get back just the count.
Effectively, it will be as performant as the count API.
