Query_string query that contains < and > symbols

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
6

That makes much more sense :slight_smile:
Thanks, it works now!
And somewhere in the query_string docs should be mentioned that
simple_query_string should be preferred in where applicable :stuck_out_tongue:

Once again, it is not related to "escaping".

Why don't you use simple query_string?

Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic

It wraps the crappy query_string into "match" query, correctly analyzed
and parsed to Elasticsearch settings, which query_string is not always able
to. And it provides boolean clauses.

Examples:

POST /test/_search
{
"query" : {
"simple_query_string" : {
"title" : {
"query" : ">end"
}
}
}
}

POST /test/_search
{
"query" : {
"simple_query_string" : {
"title" : {
"query" : " testing and >end"
}
}
}
}

I think I don't agree ...
I'm using query_string because I want to give the users the ability to
use AND, OR +, - etc., out of the box.
I'm able to escape all other symbols except < and >, and I can use them
as part of the field content, also as part of the query like any regular
letter.
I dont understand why there is no way to escape those 2 symbols only. How
they are different compared to the others ???

This is not a problem of escape.

Always use "match" query. Never use "query_string".

Hello,
I recently discovered very interesting problem

The analyzer is whitespace:
{
"mappings": {
"test": {
"properties": {
"title": {
"analyzer": "whitespace",
"type": "string"
},
"description": {
"analyzer": "whitespace",
"type": "string"
}
}
}
}
}

I have 3 documents with the following content:
{
"id": 1,
"title" : "testing123",
"description" : "a description"
}
{
"id": 2,
"title" : "testing >end",
"description" : "another description"
}
{
"id": 3,
"title" : "testing <end",
"description" : "another description"
}

Then I did the following search queries:
{
"query": {

"bool": {
  "should": [
    {
      "query_string": {
        "query": ">end",
        "fields": [
          "title"
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}

}
}

RESULT: 3 hits (all docs) - wrong
EXPLAIN description: "ConstantScore(title:{end TO *]), product of:"

{
"query": {

"bool": {
  "should": [
    {
      "query_string": {
        "query": "<end",
        "fields": [
          "title"
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}

}
}

RESULT: 3 hits (all docs) - wrong
EXPLAIN description: "ConstantScore(title:[* TO end}), product of:"

{
"query": {

"bool": {
  "should": [
    {
      "query_string": {
        "query": "end",
        "fields": [
          "title"
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}

}
}

RESULT: 0 hits (correct!)

I tried to escape "<" and ">" in the query, but no success

Search for < and > in the elasticsearch and lucene docs - also no
luck. Obvoiusly they are recognized as range operators, but I want to use
them also as normal text symbols.
Is there any way to escape them properly ?
