What for? I mean you want to extract that to a field?

You can use an ingest pipeline probably for that.  
Also have a look at ingest nlp project which tries to automatically recognize emails and other entities.

Probably something I'd avoid doing though: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-regexp-query.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-regexp-query.html)

yes - i create a regex with your link  
this is my regex : " [a-zA-Z]+@[a-zA-Z]+.[a-zA-Z]+ "  
is it work but it have a problem  
for example : @aaaa match with this regex  
but your link says its not match.  
give me a regex for elasticsearch that i match with [test@gmail.com](mailto:test@gmail.com) and not matched with @gmail.com
