Bool and query on Elasticsearch 6.5.3 - python-3.x

Question

I'm working on ElasticSearch 6.5.3 and . Please find below my code:
from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch, helpers
def search(es_object, index_name, request):
toto = es_object.search(index=index_name, body=request)
return toto
fuzziness = 1
request1 = {
"query": {
"match" : {
"Family_name" : {
"query" : family_names,
"fuzziness": fuzziness,
}
}
},
"size" : size
}
request2 = {
"query": {
"match" : {
"First_name" : {
"query" : first_names,
"fuzziness": fuzziness,
}
}
},
"size" : size
}
result1 = search(es,ELASTICSEARCH_INDEX_NAME,request1)
result2 = search(es,ELASTICSEARCH_INDEX_NAME,request2)
I'd like to make a bool fuzzy query on firstname and family name. How can I do it please ?
I tried the following :
request = {
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"query": {
"match" : {
"First_name" : {
"query" : family_name,
"fuzziness": fuzziness,
}
}
},
"query": {
"match" : {
"Prénom" : {
"query" : firstname,
"fuzziness": fuzziness,
}
}
}
}
]
}
}
result = search(es,ELASTICSEARCH_INDEX_NAME,request)
I got the following error meaning that there is some problem in my query. It seems that I cannot combine two match queries having fuzziness simultaneously
RequestError: RequestError(400, 'parsing_exception', 'Unknown key
for a START_OBJECT in [bool].')

Your query is a bit wrong, you need to fix it like this:
{
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"match": {
"First_name": {
"query": "family_name",
"fuzziness": fuzziness
}
}
},
{
"match": {
"Prénom": {
"query": "firstname",
"fuzziness": fuzziness
}
}
}
]
}
}
}
The reason is, that boolean query array already understand that it will be an object of query, so you don't need to specify it again
