The mapping of my Elastic search looks like below:
{
"settings": {
"index": {
"number_of_shards": "5",
"number_of_replicas": "1"
}
},
"mappings": {
"node": {
"properties": {
"field1": {
"type": "keyword"
},
"field2": {
"type": "keyword"
},
"query": {
"properties": {
"regexp": {
"properties": {
"field1": {
"type": "keyword"
},
"field2": {
"type": "keyword"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
Problem is :
I am forming ES queries using elasticsearch_dsl Q(). It works perfectly fine in most of the cases when my query contains any complex regexp. But it totally fails if it contains regexp character '!' in it. It doesn't give any result when the search term contains '!' in it.
For eg:
1.) Q('regexp', field1 = "^[a-z]{3}.b.*") (works perfectly)
2.) Q('regexp', field1 = "^f04.*") (works perfectly)
3.) Q('regexp', field1 = "f00.*") (works perfectly)
4.) Q('regexp', field1 = "f04baz?") (works perfectly)
Fails in below case:
5.) Q('regexp', field1 = "f04((?!z).)*") (Fails with no results at all)
I tried adding "analyzer":"keyword" along with "type":"keyword" as above in the fields, but in that case nothing works.
In the browser i tried to check how analyzer:keyword will work on the input on the case it fails:
http://localhost:9210/search/_analyze?analyzer=keyword&text=f04((?!z).)*
Seems to look fine here with result:
{
"tokens": [
{
"token": "f04((?!z).)*",
"start_offset": 0,
"end_offset": 12,
"type": "word",
"position": 0
}
]
}
I'm running my queries like below:
search_obj = Search(using = _conn, index = _index, doc_type = _type).query(Q('regexp', field1 = "f04baz?"))
count = search_obj.count()
response = search_obj[0:count].execute()
logger.debug("total nodes(hits):" + " " + str(response.hits.total))
PLease help, its really a annoying problem as all the regex characters work fine in all the queries except !.
Also, how do i check what analyzer is currently applied with above setting in my mappings?
