Elasticsearch lowercase filter search

Question

I\'m trying to search my database and be able to use upper/lower case filter terms but I\'ve noticed while query\'s apply analyzers, I can\'t figure out how to appl

Answer 1

The problem is that you have a field that you have analyzed during index to lowercase it, but you are using a term filter for the query which is not analyzed:

Term Filter

Filters documents that have fields that contain a term (not analyzed). Similar to term query, except that it acts as a filter.

I'd try using a query filter instead:

Query Filter

Wraps any query to be used as a filter. Can be placed within queries that accept a filter.

Example:

{
    "constantScore" : {
        "filter" : {
            "query" : {
                "query_string" : {
                    "query" : "this AND that OR thus"
                }
            }
        }
    } }
