Elastic Search Query Where value exists between 2 field values - elasticsearch

Question

Im trying to figure out how to construct a query against elastic search where the query value exists between the range of 2 field values.
Lets say I have a template
{
"template": "addresses",
"mappings": {
"addresses": {
"properties": {
"street_number_1": { "type": "integer" },
"street_number_2": { "type": "integer" },
... //other unimportant fields
}
}
}
Based on the above definition, If I have an address of 100-120 High Street, where street_number_1 is 100 and street_number_2 is 120, if I were to perform a Search for 112 High Street, this record should be returned as it is between 100 and 120. What kind of elastic search function/query would allow me to do this?

Answer 1

You have two options. With your current mapping, you can use two range queries like this:
{
"query": {
"bool": {
"filter": [
{
"range": {
"street_number_1": {
"lte": 112
}
}
},
{
"range": {
"street_number_2": {
"gte": 112
}
}
}
]
}
}
}
The second option involves changing your mapping to use an integer range for the street number. Define your street number mapping like this:
PUT addresses
{
"mappings": {
"_doc": {
"properties": {
"street_number": {
"type": "integer_range"
}
}
}
}
}
Then index your address document like this:
PUT addresses/_doc/1
{
"street_number" : {
"gte" : 100,
"lte" : 120
}
}
And finally query it like this:
POST addresses/_search
{
"query" : {
"term" : {
"street_number" : {
"value": 112
}
}
}
}
