Dear All.

I have written query on elastic search 2.4 that is working match as like %g% operator:-

when i passed only 'g' then it display all firstname with 'g'  
`

{ "query": {  
"bool": {  
"must": {  
"bool" : {  
"should": [  
{ "match": { "firstname": "g" }},  
{ "match": { "lastname": "" }},  
{ "match": { "dateofbirth": "" }} ,  
{ "match": { "sex": "" }}  
]

```
     }
   }
 }

```

} }

But same query running with elasticsearch 7.3 that is not fetching any data with match same as like %g% why?  
is there version mismatch or some changed happen in elastic search 7.3.?

```
{ "query": {
 "bool": {
 "must": {
     "bool" : { 
      "should": [
         { "match": { "firstname": "g" }},
        { "match": { "lastname": "" }},
        { "match": { "dateofbirth": "" }} , 
         { "match": { "sex": "" }}
       ]
    
     }
   }
 }

```

} }

please help me i getting stuck here?

thanks
