Hello Ayman , The regex is done on the token level and not on the string level.
Lets assume your field value is = abc/xyz This is broken into abc/xyz => [ abc , xyz] Now you can do regex match on the token level and not on abc/xyz. So if you search for ab* , it will match as it matches to abc but abc/x* wont work because there is no single token in that format. Your best bet here would be to make this field not_analyzed as told in the below link. LINK - http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.4/mapping-core-types.html Now if you apply regex , it should work fine , because there is not tokenizing happening.
