I’m searching on ES using the URI search syntax. My query looks something like this: http://local host:9200/library/book/_search?q=bookID:1234

I want to match any ID starting from let’s say 12, I can use a regex for this such as 12*. But how do I use this in URI search? It does not seem to work and returns no matches even though they exist. The documents say I need to set analyze_wildcards=true, which I did. But the problem persists.

Are you using the ES query syntax? – wp78de Jun 12 '18 at 21:24
You sure `http://local host:9200/library/book/_search?q=bookID:12*` doesnt work? what does your mapping look like? – Polynomial Proton Jun 12 '18 at 21:44
You can use curl as well. [Take a look at this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41928109/elasticsearch-search-with-wildcards) – Polynomial Proton Jun 12 '18 at 21:49
I figured it out. Regex matching does not work on number fields, only on strings. I changed my mapping to hold them IDs as strings. – nebula186 Jun 14 '18 at 05:44
