Elasticsearch query with wildcard and match conditions - regex

Question

I have this index:
{
"mappings": {
"records" : {
"properties" : {
"suggest" : {
"type" : "completion",
"contexts": [
{
"name": "year",
"type": "category",
"path": "year"
}
]
}
}
}
}
}
I put some records:
POST http://localhost:9200/example/records
{
"suggest": {
"input": "foo123" ,
"contexts": {
"year": "1999"
}
}
}
POST http://localhost:9200/example/records
{
"suggest": {
"input": "some123" ,
"contexts": {
"year": "1999"
}
}
}
POST http://localhost:9200/example/records
{
"suggest": {
"input": "thing123" ,
"contexts": {
"year": "2000"
}
}
}
Now I would do this query (sql like):
SELECT * FROM example WHERE SUGGEST LIKE %123% AND YEAR=1999
How can I do in Elastic Search?
I type:
POST http://localhost:9200/example/records/_search?pretty
{
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{ "wildcard" : { "suggest" : "*123*" } }
],
"filter":[
{ "term" : { "year" : "1999" } }
]
}
}
}
I have returned this response with blank results:
{
"took": 1,
"timed_out": false,
"_shards": {
"total": 5,
"successful": 5,
"skipped": 0,
"failed": 0
},
"hits": {
"total": 0,
"max_score": null,
"hits": []
}
}
I am expecting to have returned this records:
foo123, year 1999
some123, year 1999
How can I do?

You need to use bool query with must if you care about score:
{
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{ "wildcard" : { "name" : "*foo*" } },
{ "term" : { "year" : "1999" } }
]
  }
}
}
or with filter if you just want to filter values and possibly cache the filter:
{
"query": {
"filter": {
"must": [
{ "wildcard" : { "name" : "*foo*" } },
{ "term" : { "year" : "1999" } }
]
  }
}
}
