Query_string queries don't handle multiple types

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to implement a search for one of my indices using the following
query:

{
"query" : {
"query_string" : {
"query" : "some text",
"fields" : ["collected.*"]
}
}
}

The documents in the index have a field named "collected" which is dynamic
and changes between documents.

When I try to run this query I get NumberFormatException since some of the
fields are Numeric and I guess elasticsearch tries to cast the input string
to a number.
Is there any possibility to make the query_string parameter perform a 'best
effort' search without raising that exception so that it will ignore the
fields that he can't cast,

Thanks,
Yarin

Silly me,
I've found that there's a flag for ignoring these exceptions using
"lenient"

I am using simple query string and also get this number format exception
for same reason. However it seems there is no "lenient" flag for simple
query string.

thoughts?
