How do search on _all fields except X field? #11294
Description
Situation
Cluster contains several indices, types and documents with several fields. We want to search fulltext on-demand as opposed to normally since we have richer metadata. We don't want to list every field in fields in the query. I realise the fields property takes city.* format. Since listing every field that is not fulltext can be handled by Elastic as opposed to the application.
Request
Can we provide NOT field syntax in fields property something like !fulltext?
POST _search
{
"query": {
"query_string": {
"query": "*",
"fields": [
"!fulltext"
]
}
}
}My DIY experience
I tried to debug and find out if the syntax supported any other formats, as the help document didn't cover NOT fields. I had this error
