You're setting the size parameter to 0 in your queries so it won't return
anything. Also, you need to have an copy of the URL value in your index
that is not analyzed which you can use for your wildcard query. In your
mapping you need to specify that you want to index the URL value verbatim:
"URL": {
"type": "string",
"fields": {
"untouched": {
"type": "string",
"index": "not\_analyzed"
},
}
}
Using the mapping above the URL value will be indexed using default
standard analyzer, it will also index a verbatim copy of the value as
specified by the 'untouched' field which you would use in the wildcard
query:
curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/message\_index/message\_indext/\_search](http://localhost:9200/message_index/message_indext/_search)' -d
'{"query":{"wildcard":{"URL.untouched":"[http://www.mohit-kumar-yadav.com](http://www.mohit-kumar-yadav.com)\*"}}}'
