Hi all, I am testing using wildcards in field names. I have the following URI search: \_search?q=p.\*:pair&explain It returns me results (in the browser). However, when I express this query in Query DSL like this, then no results get returned: { "query" : { "query\_string" : { "fields" : ["p.\*"], "query" : "pair" } } } Is this a bug or do I have the wrong translation of the query in Query DSL?

You have to enable "analyze\_wildcard: true" Jörg On Wed, Dec 3, 2014 at 4:58 PM, drjz [juntezhang@gmail.com](mailto:juntezhang@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi all, > > I am testing using wildcards in field names.

Adding analyze\_wildcard does not have an effect. For example, the DSL query below does not return any results, while as a URI query it does return me the set of matching documents. { "query" : { "query\_string" : { "analyze\_wildcard" : true, "fields" : ["p.\*"], "query" : "london" } } } Any more ideas?
