SearchParseException JS client

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I'm working on a JS client and having issues querying my index. I can use CURL to query it but my JS client fails to parse the query and I get the exception below. What am I doing wrong?

Version1:
client.search(
{
index:'blog',
q: 'user:dilbert'
},
function (err, resp)
{
if (err)
{
alert("Query Error: "+ err.message);
}
else
{
var hits = resp.body.hits;
alert("hits = " + hits);
}
}
);

Version2:
client.search({
index: 'blog',
body: {
query: {
match: {
body: 'dilbert'
}
}
}
}).then(function (resp) {
var hits = resp.hits.hits;
}, function (err) {
alert(err.message);
});

Not knowing a whole lot about what how exactly you are sending the query (or JavaScript in general for that matter): To me this looks like the query doesn't make it to Elasticsearch. Maybe this helps you: javascript - AJAX Call with Elasticsearch Search - Stack Overflow
