"upcs": [ {"id": "_CTL BR NTRL FNTN PRMS MZRL ASG PRVL RMN SIX CHS ITLN FNCY SHRD BAG 8 OZ 200469352962_"}, {"id": "SRGN NTRL FNTN PRMS MZRL ASG PRVL RMN SIX CHS ITLN SHRD BAG 28 OZ 004610030098"}, {"id": "CRYS FRM MNTR JCK PRMS MZRL ASG PRVL RMN PST GRLC SIX CHS ITLN FNLY SHRD 8 OZ 007592529995"}, ] when i run a query like so... "query":{ "match":{"upcs.id":"_ctl br ntrl fntn prms mzrl asg prvl rmn six chs itln fncy shrd bag 8 oz 200469352962_"} } it correctly matches the record, but it returns the entire array is it possible to only return the item in the array that was matched Thank you -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
