Hi All,

I have one question in range query....

1. How to search with only one range i.e, either from range or to  
range.....?

curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/dbtest/metadata/\_search](http://localhost:9200/dbtest/metadata/_search)' -d  
'{ "query":{ "range" : {"myfield" : {"from" : "1","to" : "\*",  
"include\_lower" : true, "include\_upper" : true}}}}'

I am getting error here is...

{"error":"SearchPhaseExecutionException[Failed to execute phase  
[query], total f  
ailure; shardFailures {[ILV-\_\_B3Tau7KR\_uqzlrSA][db2267][0]:

tion[[Stegron][inet[/192.168.65.1:9302]][search/phase/query]]; nested:

atException[For input string: "_"]; }{[ILV-\_\_B3Tau7KR\_uqzlrSA]  
[db2267][1]: Rem  
oteTransportException[[Stegron][inet[/192.168.65.1:9302]][search/phase/  
query]];  
nested: SearchParseException[[db2267][1]: from[-1],size[-1]: Parse

ed to parse source [{ "query" :{ "range" : {"m\_pagecount" :  
{"from" : "  
1","to" : "_", "include\_lower" : true, "include\_upper" :  
true}}}}]]]; n  
ested: NumberFormatException[For input string: "_"]; }]"}

How can i search with only one range.......?

Hi,

the documentation (  
[http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/rest\_api/query\_dsl/range\_query/](http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/rest_api/query_dsl/range_query/)  
) tells this:  
"to": The upper bound. Defaults to unbounded.

So you can use same query without the "to" part (and remove the  
"include\_upper" too)
