💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'search' instead of the actual search term.

Using 'query' or 'index' which are not the search terms.

Complete the code to filter search results by a specific field value.

Elasticsearch

GET /my_index/_search
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "filter": {
        "term": { "status": "[1]" }
      }

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'search' or 'query' which are not valid status values.

Using 'index' which is unrelated to filtering.

The term filter restricts results to documents where status is active.

hard

Fix the error in the search query to correctly match documents containing the word 'fast'.

Elasticsearch

GET /my_index/_search
{
  "query": {
    "match": {
      "description": "[1]"
    }
  }
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'fastly' which is not a correct word.

Using comparative forms like 'faster' or 'fastest' which change the meaning.

The match query should use the exact word fast to find matching documents.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a search query that matches documents where the 'title' contains 'Elasticsearch' and the 'published' field is true.

Elasticsearch

GET /my_index/_search
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": {
        "match": { "title": "[1]" }
      },
      "filter": {
        "term": { "published": [2] }
      }
    }
  }
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'false' for the published filter which excludes published documents.

Using 'search' instead of the actual search term.

The match query searches for 'Elasticsearch' in the title, and the term filter ensures only published documents (true) are returned.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a search query that returns documents where the 'content' field contains 'fast', the 'views' field is greater than 100, and results are sorted by 'date' descending.

Elasticsearch

GET /my_index/_search
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": {
        "match": { "content": "[1]" }
      },
      "filter": {
        "range": { "views": { "[2]": [3] } }
      }
    }
  },
  "sort": [ { "date": "desc" } ]
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Dgte

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'gte' instead of 'gt' changes the filter condition.

Using values other than 100 for the views filter.

Not sorting results by date descending.

The match query looks for 'fast' in content, the range filter uses 'gt' (greater than) 100 for views, and results are sorted by date descending.
