Hello,

I have following data structure in elasticsearch:

{  
object\_name : "test1",  
src.elastic\_variable\_1 : "info1",  
src.elastic\_variable\_2 : "info2",  
src.elastic\_variable\_3 : "info1",  
dst.elastic\_variable\_1 : "info1",  
dst.elastic\_variable\_1 : "info2"  
}

The variable elastic\_variable for src and dst is dynamic. I could be, that the document have 8  
variables for src.elastic\_variable\_{1,8} (e.g).

Is it possible to search with a wildcard about all dynamic variables?  
E.g.: if src.elastic\_variable\_\* == "info2"

Thanks in advance.

Regards
