Regexp query flags documentation bug?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,

I'm encountering some unexpected behavior when using the regexp query. I
get zero results when I use the syntax given in the documentationhttp://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-regexp-query.html
:

{
"regexp":{
"name.first": "s.*y",
"flags" : "INTERSECTION|COMPLEMENT|EMPTY"
}
}

However, if I change the syntax to the following, results are returned:

{
"regexp":{
"name.first":{
"value" : "s.*y",
"flags" : "INTERSECTION|COMPLEMENT|EMPTY"
}
}
}

I tested this on 0.90.5, 1.0.0, and 1.1.0 with the same results. Can anyone
confirm?

I should add that this only occurs within a filtered query, e.g.

{
"query": {
"filtered": {
"filter": {
"regexp": {
"name.first": "s.*y",
"flags": "ALL"
}
}
}
}
}

Thanks, that is an error in the docs and submitted a correction already.
Your second syntax is the correct one.
