I'm new to ES and I'm trying to build a query that would use phrase_prefix for multiple fields so I dont have to search more than once.
Here's what I've got so far:
{
"query" : {
"text" : {
"first_name" : {
"query" : "Gustavo",
"type" : "phrase_prefix"
}
}
}
}'
Does anybody knows how to search for more than one field, say "last_name" ?
The text query that you are using has been deprecated (effectively renamed) a while ago in favour of the match query. The match query supports a single field, but you can use the multi_match query which supports the very same options and allows to search on multiple fields. Here is an example that should be helpful to you:
{
"query" : {
"multi_match" : {
"fields" : ["title", "subtitle"],
"query" : "trying out ela",
"type" : "phrase_prefix"
}
}
}
You can achieve the same using the Java API like this:
QueryBuilders.multiMatchQuery("trying out ela", "title", "subtitle")
.type(MatchQueryBuilder.Type.PHRASE_PREFIX);
