my es version is: 5.4.0  
one of my index document like  
"....\ntest\n\n\n|taga|..."

when I use wildcard query

 ![11](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/d/1d9d8abea9ccaf4dfa1aaba3b4e29248ec0a3bcc.png)

but when I use wildcard like below:  
POST kwindex/kwtype/\_search  
{  
"query": {  
"wildcard": {  
"extra\_search": "_|taga|_"  
}  
},  
"\_source":  
[  
"extra\_search"

]  
}

the result I got is 🙂  
{  
"took": 43,  
"timed\_out": false,  
"\_shards": {  
"total": 5,  
"successful": 5,  
"failed": 0  
},  
"hits": {  
"total": 0,  
"max\_score": null,  
"hits":   
}  
}

I google for long time, but I did not find the reason.

any help would be sincerely appreciate!

This wildcard query returns no documents because it doesn't match your document. What did you expect with pipes ?

thank you for your reply, I already resolve it by add _"extra\_search.keyword"_
