ElasticSearch dont return result - search

Question

im new with elastic and can't solve this problem
i have 2 requests:
1) curl -XGET 'host/process_test_1/1/_search?title:*New*'
it returns me
{
"took": 1,
"timed_out": false,
"_shards": {
"total": 5,
"successful": 5,
"failed": 0
},
"hits": {
"total": 116,
"max_score": 1.0,
"hits": [
{
"_index": "process_test_1",
"_type": "1",
"_id": "7118_folder_1",
"_score": 1.0,
"_source": {
"obj_type": "folder",
"obj_id": 7118,
"title": "sadasd"
}
},
{
"_index": "process_test_1",
"_type": "1",
"_id": "6780_folder_1",
"_score": 1.0,
"_source": {
"obj_type": "folder",
"obj_id": 6780,
"title": "New Object"
}
}
}
]
}
}
why it returns me an object with title "sadasd"?
and second request
`curl -XGET 'host/process_test_1/1/_search' -d '{"query":{"match":{"text":{"query":"*New*","operator":"and"}}}}`'
it returns
{
"took": 1,
"timed_out": false,
"_shards": {
"total": 5,
"successful": 5,
"failed": 0
},
"hits": {
"total": 0,
"max_score": null,
"hits": [
]
}
}
why it return me nothins if i really have one element which match (actually i have more than 50 elements with such name and different ids)

Answer 1

First, your first query is missing the parameter name q=
curl -XGET 'host/process_test_1/1/_search?q=title:*New*'
^
|
this is missing
Second, the match query doesn't interpret the * character as a wildcard, so if you want an equivalent query using the DSL for the first query above, you need to be using the query_string query instead:
curl -XGET 'host/process_test_1/1/_search' -d '{
"query": {
"query_string": {
"query": "*New*",
"default_field": "text"
}
}
}'
