I am using bool must for having multiple queries and when I use wildcard it returns number format exception for using \*

Query :  
{  
"query":{  
"bool":{  
"must":[  
{  
"wildcard":{  
"response\_code": "4\*"  
}  
},  
{  
"range":{  
"@timestamp":{  
"from":"now-10m",  
"to":"now"  
}  
}  
}  
]  
}  
}  
}

Output:

```
{

```

"error": {  
"root\_cause": [  
{  
"type": "number\_format\_exception",  
"reason": "For input string: "4\*""  
}  
],  
"type": "search\_phase\_execution\_exception",  
"reason": "all shards failed",  
"phase": "query",  
"grouped": true,  
"failed\_shards": [  
{  
"shard": 0,  
"index": "stg\_esd\_rae-2017.05.09.11",  
"node": "-M3nnkudTpitT8ZXnidYeg",  
"reason": {  
"type": "number\_format\_exception",  
"reason": "For input string: "4\*""  
}  
}  
]  
},  
"status": 400  
}
