I would execute a query like this (sql like):

`SELECT * FROM MYINDEX WHERE SUGGEST LIKE %FOO% AND YEAR=1999`

How can I do in Elastic Search?

I write a query with wild card but I don't know how to combine it with and clause that match year=1999:

```
{
    "query": {
        "wildcard" : { "name" : "*foo*" }
    }
}

```

Can you help me?

Use a bool query.

(And don't use wildcards but this is another story)

This is my index:  
{  
"mappings": {  
"records" : {  
"properties" : {  
"suggest" : {  
"type" : "completion",  
"contexts": [  
{  
"name": "year",  
"type": "category",  
"path": "year"  
}  
]  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

What can be done? The query part?

Yes, I would do the query with `LIKE %FOO% AND YEAR=1999`

So:

Something like:

```auto
POST _search
{
  "query": {
    "bool" : {
      "must" : {
        "wildcard" : { "name" : "%FOO%" }
      },
      "filter": {
        "term" : { "year" : 1999 }
      }
    }
  }
}

```

Some note about wildcard from doc: [Wildcard Query | Elasticsearch Reference [6.2] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/query-dsl-wildcard-query.html)

> Note that this query can be slow, as it needs to iterate over many terms. In order to prevent extremely slow wildcard queries, a wildcard term should not start with one of the wildcards \* or ?.
