Wildcard search on analyzed field

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi All,

We would like to enable wildcard search on analyzed field.

As per my level of understanding, if analyzed is true, then wildcard search
would not work.

Please suggest some ways to achieve above usecase.

Thanks,

Hi Ankit,

you could use the query_string query, which allows leading wildcard
searches within analyzed fields.

However, if you would like to use wildcards anywhere, you would probably
have to change over the concerned field to a multi_field, and store both an
analyzed as well as a not_analyzed version of the data (If I am not
mistaken - I am still fairly new to this).
You would then be able to issue a wildcard query, for instance, on the
not_analyzed version of the data:

to add to this, you can run wildcard queries on any field that is indexed
not just analyzed fields.

Hi Ankit,

You should try to use the query_string with the option "analyze_wildcard"
set to true.

For more detail :

I hope it can help you.
