Hi, this might be a rookie problem since I'm very new to elasticsearch.
I'm trying to put JSON documents into elasticsearch with a field "lang". However if "lang" is set to "it" elasticsearch doesn't seem to recognize the field since it's only returned when I filter for missing fields. The problem can be recreated very simple: curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/test/test/1' -d '{"lang":"de"}' curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/test/test/2' -d '{"lang":"it"}' If I try to search for lang:de: curl -XGET http://s445.gfsrv.net:9200/test/test/_search?pretty -d ' { "query": { "query_string": { "query": "lang:de" } } I get a result: { "took" : 2, "timed_out" : false, "_shards" : { "total" : 5, "successful" : 5, "failed" : 0 }, "hits" : { "total" : 1, "max_score" : 0.30685282, "hits" : [ { "_index" : "test", "_type" : "test", "_id" : "1", "_score" : 0.30685282, "_source" : {"lang":"de"} } ] } } However if I search for lang:it: curl -XGET http://s445.gfsrv.net:9200/test/test/_search?pretty -d ' { "query": { "query_string": { "query": "lang:it" } } }' There is no result: { "took" : 1, "timed_out" : false, "_shards" : { "total" : 5, "successful" : 5, "failed" : 0 }, "hits" : { "total" : 0, "max_score" : null, "hits" : [ ] } } If I search for missing field lang: curl -XGET http://s445.gfsrv.net:9200/test2/test/_search?pretty -d '{"query":{"filtered":{"filter":{"missing":{"field":"lang"}}}}}' There it is: { "took" : 1, "timed_out" : false, "_shards" : { "total" : 5, "successful" : 5, "failed" : 0 }, "hits" : { "total" : 1, "max_score" : 1.0, "hits" : [ { "_index" : "test2", "_type" : "test", "_id" : "2", "_score" : 1.0, "_source" : {"lang":"it"} } ] } } Thanks for your time and any help would be appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
