In ElasticSearch 7.10 this query works
{
"query": {
"bool": {
"filter": {
"term": {
"field1": "value1"
}
}
}
}
}
but this does not
{
"query": {
"filter": {
"term": {
"field1": "value1"
}
}
}
}
I only want to filter on a single field, so why do I need to wrap "filter" inside "bool", which is meant to allow querying/filtering on multiple criteria?
Note: the following works but ES computes a score for each hit and I want to avoid the score computation hence the need to use "filter". I thought I could just wrap "term" inside "filter" and be done, but no, I have to again wrap "filter" inside "bool"
{
"query": {
"term": {
"field1": "value1"
}
}
}
