Advanced Search Techniques
In addition to basic queries, Elasticsearch offers a range of advanced search techniques to help you refine your searches and find the most relevant documents.
Fuzzy Query
The fuzzy query is used to find documents that contain terms similar to a specified term. It’s useful for dealing with typos or variations in spelling.
GET /products/_search
{
"query": {
"fuzzy": {
"name": "iphon"
}
}
}
In this example:
- We’re searching for documents where the name field contains terms similar to “iphon” (e.g., “iphone“).
- Elasticsearch will return documents that match this fuzzy criteria.
Range Query
The range query allows you to search for documents within a specified range of values. It’s commonly used when dealing with numerical or date fields.
GET /products/_search
{
"query": {
"range": {
"price": {
"gte": 500,
"lte": 1000
}
}
}
}
In this example:
- We’re searching for documents where the price field falls within the range of 500 to 1000.
- Elasticsearch will return documents that meet this criteria.
