Query on version?

Is it possible to query for documents that have a specific version number,
or even better with a range?

This seems to hit all docs
http://localhost:9200/patent/grant/_search?q=version:[2+TO+*]&pretty=true&version=true

And these hit none
http://localhost:9200/patent/grant/_search?q=_version:[2+TO+*]&pretty=true&version=true
http://localhost:9200/patent/grant/_search?q=version:2&pretty=true&version=true
http://localhost:9200/patent/grant/_search?q=_version:2&pretty=true&version=true

I know I have at least a handful of docs with version of 2.

Thanks,

Mark

It is not possible to query on the version number. I asked the same
question a while back.

As Ivan pointed out, its not possible to do so. Why do you need it?

Thanks for the responses. I am ingesting a number of documents that have been published over time, some of which are republished. I was hoping I could query on version to see those that have been indexed (published) more than once. Maybe I can use the new indexing feature that allows using script to increment another field?

Yes, I see. The update might help, but it only updates, it doesn't index a fresh copy.
