Sort After Specifying Fields in QueryStringQuery

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

Using QueryStringQuery, if I searched on "_all:smith*" and did a sort-
by-name, without specifying fields to sort on using
QueryStringQuery.field() , the sort would span across all 2000 results
returned, paged in four 500 row pages. The pages were sorted correctly

  • The first page: A to G second: G to P third: P to W fourth:
    everything else

Now that I search on "smith*" and then specify 4 fields using
QueryStringQuery.field() and one boosted field, I find that I get 4
pages each sorted A-to-Z. So the first page starts with A and ends in
Z, the second page starts with A and ends in Z, and the third.

Best Regards,

David

Gist a curl recreation, will have a look. Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic.

Apologies, this was a client side issue. Server-side sorting flag had
been turned off in the client.
