Elasticsearch - Basic Search Queries

How can you combine a match query with a range filter to find documents where "description" matches "fast car" and "year" is greater than 2015?

A{ "query": { "bool": { "must": { "match": { "description": "fast car" } }, "filter": { "range": { "year": { "gt": 2015 } } } } } }

B{ "query": { "match": { "description": "fast car", "year": { "gt": 2015 } } } }

C{ "query": { "range": { "year": { "gt": 2015 } }, "match": { "description": "fast car" } } }

D{ "query": { "match": { "description": "fast car" } }, "filter": { "range": { "year": { "gt": 2015 } } } }

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand combining queries with bool
To combine a text match and a numeric range filter, use a bool query with must for match and filter for range.
Step 2: Evaluate options
{ "query": { "bool": { "must": { "match": { "description": "fast car" } }, "filter": { "range": { "year": { "gt": 2015 } } } } } } correctly uses bool with must and filter. { "query": { "match": { "description": "fast car", "year": { "gt": 2015 } } } } incorrectly nests range inside match. { "query": { "range": { "year": { "gt": 2015 } }, "match": { "description": "fast car" } } } incorrectly places two queries side by side. { "query": { "match": { "description": "fast car" } }, "filter": { "range": { "year": { "gt": 2015 } } } } places filter outside query.
Final Answer:
Use bool query with must match and filter range -> Option A
