Elasticsearch - search for numbers / price with decimal places - laravel

Question

How can I search for documents in Elasticsearch that have numeric field with value having decimal places?
My Mapping is as follows:
POST /itemnew/_doc
{
"mappings": {
"_doc": {
"properties": {
"name": {
"type": "string",
"analyzer": "edge_ngram_analyzer",
},
"purchase_price": {
"type": "double"
},
"sale_price": {
"type": "double"
},
"sku": {
"type": "string",
},
"settings": {
"index": {
"analysis": {
"filter": {
"autocomplete_filter": {
"type": "edge_ngram",
}
},
"analyzer": {
"ngram_analyzer": {
"tokenizer": "standard",
}
Sample document is as follows:
PUT itemnew/_doc/3
{
"company_id":"4510339694428161" ,
"item_type": "goods",
"name":"Apple sam" ,
"purchase_price":"45.50" ,
"sale_price":"50",
"sku": "sku 123"
}
I get NumberFormatException when I try the following query: GET itemnew/_search
{
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"multi_match": {
"query": "45.5",
"fields": [
"name",
"purchase_price",
"sale_price",
"sku"
],
"type": "most_fields"
```

Answer 1

You can use a lenient top-level parameter for a multi-match query here. Adding lenient just ignore exception that occurs due to format failures.
lenient (Optional, Boolean) If true, format-based errors, such as
providing a text query value for a numeric field, are ignored.
Defaults to false.
Adding a working example
Index Mapping:
PUT testidx
{
"settings": {
"analysis": {
"filter": {
"autocomplete_filter": {
"type": "edge_ngram"
}
},
"analyzer": {
"ngram_analyzer": {
"tokenizer": "standard"
}
}
}
},
"mappings": {
"properties": {
"name": {
"type": "text",
"analyzer": "ngram_analyzer"
},
"purchase_price": {
"type": "double"
},
"sale_price": {
"type": "double"
},
"sku": {
"type": "text"
}
}
}
}
Index Data:
PUT testidx/_doc/1
{
"company_id": "4510339694428161",
"item_type": "goods",
"name": "Apple sam",
"purchase_price": "45.50",
"sale_price": "50",
"sku": "sku 123"
}
Search Query:
POST testidx/_search
{
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"multi_match": {
"query": "hello",
"fields": [
"name",
"purchase_price",
"sale_price",
"sku"
],
"lenient": true,
"type": "most_fields"
}
}
]
}
}
}
