Wildcard conflicting

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,

I try to find a query for something looking easy for a human, but I can't create it with ES.

Let's imagine we have an index named words with a few data:

PUT words/_doc/1
{
  "name": "elastic"
}
PUT words/_doc/2
{
  "name": "delete"
}
PUT words/_doc/3
{
  "name": "dagger"
}
PUT words/_doc/4
{
  "name": "daily"
}
PUT words/_doc/5
{
  "name": "dark"
}
PUT words/_doc/6
{
  "name": "darth"
}

Is it possible to get every words starting by "d", but not starting by "da" except for those starting by "dar"? In my example, I must have the following list:

  • delete
  • dark
  • darth

I tried something like that but it doesn't work:

GET /words/_search
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": [
        {
          "wildcard": {
            "name": {
              "value": "d*"
            }
          }
        },
        {
          "wildcard": {
            "name": {
              "value": "dar*"
            }
          }
        }
      ],
      "must_not": [
        {
          "wildcard": {
            "name": {
              "value": "da*"
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Thanks!
