Prefix Query
editPrefix Query
editMatches documents that have fields containing terms with a specified
prefix (not analyzed). The prefix query maps to Lucene PrefixQuery
.
The following matches documents where the user field contains a term
that starts with ki
:
GET /_search { "query": { "prefix" : { "user" : "ki" } } }
A boost can also be associated with the query:
GET /_search { "query": { "prefix" : { "user" : { "value" : "ki", "boost" : 2.0 } } } }
This multi term query allows you to control how it gets rewritten using the rewrite parameter.
