Updating a post from 2012.
I have a requirement to allow a wildcard within an exact phrase
query\_string.
POST \_search
{
"query": {
"query\_string": {
"query": ""coors brew\*"",
"analyze\_wildcard": true
}
}
}
I get the following zero results set.
{
"took": 94,
"timed\_out": false,
"\_shards": {
"total": 5,
"successful": 5,
"failed": 0
},
"hits": {
"total": 0,
"max\_score": null,
"hits": []
}
}
My expectation is to get variations of the exact match (below) looking
through all fields in our document.
- Coors Brewing
- Coors Brewery
- Coors Brews
- etc
- etc
