The string should return s followed by any character like sussy, summon any thing with s and followed by nay number of charcter. It returns like this :- { - took: 19 - timed\_out: false - \_shards: { - total: 5 - successful: 5 - failed: 0 } - hits: { - total: 0 - max\_score: null - hits: } } Am I doing anything wrong here ???
