[[mapping-uid-field]]
=== `_uid` field
Each document indexed is associated with a <<mapping-type-field,`_type`>> (see
<<mapping-type>>) and an <<mapping-id-field,`_id`>>. These values are
combined as `{type}#{id}` and indexed as the `_uid` field.
The value of the `_uid` field is accessible in queries, aggregations, scripts,
and when sorting:
[source,js]
--------------------------
# Example documents
PUT my_index/my_type/1
{
"text": "Document with ID 1"
}
PUT my_index/my_type/2
{
"text": "Document with ID 2"
}
GET my_index/_search
{
"query": {
"terms": {
"_uid": [ "my_type#1", "my_type#2" ] <1>
}
},
"aggs": {
"UIDs": {
"terms": {
"field": "_uid", <2>
"size": 10
}
}
},
"sort": [
{
"_uid": { <3>
"order": "desc"
}
}
],
"script_fields": {
"UID": {
"script": "doc['_uid']" <4>
}
}
}
--------------------------
// AUTOSENSE
<1> Querying on the `_uid` field (also see the <<query-dsl-ids-query,`ids` query>>)
<2> Aggregating on the `_uid` field
<3> Sorting on the `_uid` field
<4> Accessing the `_uid` field in scripts (inline scripts must be <<enable-dynamic-scripting,enabled>> for this example to work)
