How do I have to write a Search Query in ElasticSearch? - spring

Question

I use the Grails ElasticSearch Plugin and want to use the following query:
"bool" : {
"must" : {
"term" : { "user" : "kimchy" }
},
"must_not" : {
"range" : {
"age" : { "from" : 10, "to" : 20 }
}
},
"should" : [
{
"term" : { "tag" : "wow" }
},
{
"term" : { "tag" : "elasticsearch" }
}
],
"minimum_should_match" : 1,
"boost" : 1.0
}
Using the groovy api from the Grails plugin I would write something like:
def res = userAgentIdentService.search() {
"bool" {
"must" {
term("user" : "kimchy" )
}
"must_not" {
"range" {
age("from" : 10, "to" : 20 }
}
}
"should" : [
{
term( "tag" : "wow" )
}
{
term("tag" : "elasticsearch" )
}
]
"minimum_should_match" = 1
"boost" = 1.0
}
}
My query is not working!
Where do I have to define minimum_should_match and how do I have to define it?
How do I have to write the "should" : [ ... ] square brackets notation in the grails / groovy manner?

I think you're missing a couple of json levels in your search request. I don't think you can use the query without specifying that's a query (it could be a filter as well, or even something else). Have a look at this example from the groovy api reference:
def search = node.client.search {
indices "test"
types "type1"
source {
query {
terms(test: ["value1", "value2"])
}
}
}
