Hi Guys,

I have a simple query which is not working. I am using the same query on  
another server with the same mapping; where it does work.  
Everything else is working like a charm.

I am talking about the following query.  
The problem is to be found when I using the query \> field \> tags query.  
When I do not use this part, everything works fine.

Array  
(  
[from] =\> 0  
[size] =\> 100000  
[query] =\> Array  
(  
\* [field] =\> Array  
(  
[tags] =\> _blaat_  
)  
\*  
)

```
[filter] => Array
    (
        [and] => Array
            (
                [0] => Array
                    (
                        [term] => Array
                            (
                                [representative] => 1
                            )

                    )

                [1] => Array
                    (
                        [term] => Array
                            (
                                [is_gift] => 0
                            )

                    )

                [2] => Array
                    (
                        [term] => Array
                            (
                                [active] => 1
                            )

                    )

                [3] => Array
                    (
                        [terms] => Array
                            (
                                [website_ids] => Array
                                    (
                                        [0] => 1
                                    )

                                [execution] => and
                            )

                    )

            )

    )

```

)

The mapping is as follows:

"product" : {  
"properties" : {  
"action" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"active" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"brand\_ids" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},\* "tags" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},\*  
.....

When I index an item I am using the following part:

Array  
(  
[2359] =\> Array  
(  
....  
\* [tags] =\> blaat, another blaat, etc\*  
....

Maby an installation confuguring issue?

Does anyone have a clue?

Thanks!

Hi Vineeth,

Thanks for your reply.

{"from":0,"size":100000,"query":{"field":{"tags":"_blaat_"}},"filter":{"and":[{"term":{"representative":1}},{"term":{"is\_gift":0}},{"term":{"active":1}},{"terms":{"website\_ids":[1],"execution":"and"}}]}}

Is this enough?

Thanks!

Hello Dan ,

The format of the entire query is wrong.  
You need to at-least specify the type of query that you are using.  
In this case , wild card query would be the best fit.

Thanks  
Vineeth
