Hey, I have a problem with searching for a specific filename via wildcards. You can find a test-script here: [https://gist.github.com/MakaHost/590cb90e3e1f67d64f91](https://gist.github.com/MakaHost/590cb90e3e1f67d64f91) I expect to get the field I inserted, however it gets returned only when I search for '_' or 'pricesearch.g.js'. I tested it with other file-endings and seen varying results. '_.css' and '.png' for example works, while '_.js' and '_.php' does not. Can anyone help me? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
