Queries

    A term query is the simplest possible query. It performs an exact match in the index for the provided term.

    Most of the time users should use a Match Query instead.

    Match

    A match query is like a term query, but the input text is analyzed first. An attempt is made to use the same analyzer that was used when the field was indexed.

    The match query can optionally perform fuzzy matching. If the fuzziness parameter is set to a non-zero integer the analyzed text will be matched with the specified level of fuzziness. Also, the prefix_length parameter can be used to require that the term also have the same prefix of the specified length.

    Phrase

    A phrase query searches for terms occurring in the specified position and offsets.

    Match Phrase

    The match phrase query is like the phrase query, but the input text is analyzed and a phrase query is built with the terms resulting from the analysis.

    Prefix

    The prefix query finds documents containing terms that start with the provided prefix.

    A fuzzy query is a term query that matches terms within a specified edit distance (Levenshtein distance). Also, you can optionally specify that the term must have a matching prefix of the specified length.

    Conjunction

    The conjunction query is a compound query. Result documents must satisfy all of the child queries.

    Disjunction

    The disjunction query is a compound query. Result documents must satisfy a configurable number of child queries. By default this min is set to 1.

    Boolean

    • must - result documents must satisfy all of these queries
    • should - result documents should satisfy at least of these queries

    The minShould value is configurable, defaults to 0.

    Numeric Range

    The numeric range query finds documents containing a numeric value in the specified field within the specified range. You can omit one endpoint, but not both. The and inclusiveMax properties control whether or not the end points are included or excluded.

    The date range query finds documents containing a date value in the specified field within the specified range. You can omit one endpoint, but not both. The inclusiveStart and inclusiveEnd properties control whether or not the end points are included or excluded.

    Query String

    The query language query allows humans to describe complex queries using a simple syntax. There is a separate page with the

    Match All

    The match all query will match all documents in the index.

    Match None

    Doc ID Query

    The doc ID query will match only documents that contain one of the supplied document identifiers.
