Elasticsearch: Search in an array of JSONs - elasticsearch

Question

I'm using Elasticsearch with the python library and I have a problem using the search query when the object become a little bit complex. I have objects build like that in my index:
{
"id" : 120,
"name": bob,
"shared_status": {
"post_id": 123456789,
"text": "This is a sample",
"urls" : [
{
"url": "http://test.1.com",
"displayed_url": "test.1.com"
},
{
"url": "http://blabla.com",
"displayed_url": "blabla.com"
}
]
}
}
Now I want to do a query that will return me this document only if in one of the displayed URL's a substring "test" and there is a field "text" in the main document. So I did this query:
{
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{"exists": {"field": "text"}}
]
}
}
}
}
But I don't know what query to add for the part: one of the displayed URL's a substring "test"
Is that posssible? How does the iteration on the list works?

If you didn't define an explicit mapping for your schema, elasticsearch creates a default mapping based on the data input.
urls will be of type object
displayed_url will be of type string and using standard analyzer
As you don't need any association between url and displayed_url, the current schema will work fine.
You can use a match query for full text match
GET _search
{
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"exists": {
"field": "text"
}
},
{
"match": {
"urls.displayed_url": "test"
}
}
]
}
}
}
