Searching a object and using fields in

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,

I have indexed documents like this:

{
"title": "Some title text here",
"description": "some more text here",
"object": {
"c52a85d39125e6b4cdeaafb87c1ef565":"Text to be searched",
"faf709ec2943202db7300bcc7eeb2930": "more text here"
}
}

When searching I would like to use the boost functionality. So queries look
like this:

{
"query": {
"query_string": {
"fields":["title^3", "description^2", "object"],
"query":"terms here"
}
}
}

When running the example above the search is only performed in the fields
"title" and "description". Is there any way to enable searching through all
fields in the "object" like "object.*"?

Best regards,
Bernd

Hi,

what I think you can try doing in the meantime is exclude title and
description from _all field and update your query by adding a boolean query.
Something like:

{ query : {
bool : {
should : {
[
{ query_string : { fields : [title^3, description^2], query: "blah
blah"}},
{ query_string : { query : "blah blah"}}
],
minimum_number_should_match : 1
}
}
}
}

(did not try to run this query so the syntax may not be correct, but hope
the idea is clear)

Regards,
Lukas

Hi,

thank you all for the answers. I've added a feature request and will try the query of Lukas meanwhile.

Oh crap! You are so fast... now I will never learn whether my idea which I
proposed to Bernd ever worked or not... :slight_smile:
