Full-text search
Use SQL commands for full-text search. The SQL plugin supports a subset of the full-text queries available in OpenSearch.
To learn about full-text queries in OpenSearch, see Full-text queries.
Match
Use the match
command to search documents that match a string
, number
, date
, or boolean
value for a given field.
Syntax
match(field_expression, query_expression[, option=<option_value>]*)
You can specify the following options:
analyzer
auto_generate_synonyms_phrase
fuzziness
max_expansions
prefix_length
fuzzy_transpositions
fuzzy_rewrite
lenient
operator
minimum_should_match
zero_terms_query
boost
Example 1: Search the message
field:
GET my_index/_search
{
"query": {
"match": {
"message": "this is a test"
}
}
}
SQL query:
SELECT message FROM my_index WHERE match(message, "this is a test")
Example 2: Search the message
field with the operator
parameter:
GET my_index/_search
{
"query": {
"match": {
"message": {
"query": "this is a test",
"operator": "and"
}
}
}
}
SQL query:
SELECT message FROM my_index WHERE match(message, "this is a test", operator=and)
Example 3: Search the message
field with the operator
and zero_terms_query
parameters:
GET my_index/_search
{
"query": {
"match": {
"message": {
"query": "to be or not to be",
"operator": "and",
"zero_terms_query": "all"
}
}
}
}
SQL query:
SELECT message FROM my_index WHERE match(message, "this is a test", operator=and, zero_terms_query=all)
To search for text in a single field, use MATCHQUERY
or MATCH_QUERY
functions.
Pass in your search query and the field name that you want to search against.
SELECT account_number, address
FROM accounts
WHERE MATCH_QUERY(address, 'Holmes')
Alternate syntax:
SELECT account_number, address
FROM accounts
WHERE address = MATCH_QUERY('Holmes')
account_number | address |
---|---|
1 | 880 Holmes Lane |
Multi match
To search for text in multiple fields, use MULTI_MATCH
, MULTIMATCH
, or MULTIMATCHQUERY
functions.
For example, search for Dale
in either the firstname
or lastname
fields:
SELECT firstname, lastname
FROM accounts
WHERE MULTI_MATCH('query'='Dale', 'fields'='*name')
firstname | lastname |
---|---|
Dale | Adams |
Query string
To split text based on operators, use the QUERY
function.
SELECT account_number, address
FROM accounts
WHERE QUERY('address:Lane OR address:Street')
account_number | address |
---|---|
1 | 880 Holmes Lane |
6 | 671 Bristol Street |
13 | 789 Madison Street |
The QUERY
function supports logical connectives, wildcard, regex, and proximity search.
Match phrase
To search for exact phrases, use MATCHPHRASE
, MATCH_PHRASE
, or MATCHPHRASEQUERY
functions.
SELECT account_number, address
FROM accounts
WHERE MATCH_PHRASE(address, '880 Holmes Lane')
account_number | address |
---|---|
1 | 880 Holmes Lane |
Score query
To return a relevance score along with every matching document, use SCORE
, SCOREQUERY
, or SCORE_QUERY
functions.
You need to pass in two arguments. The first is the MATCH_QUERY
expression. The second is an optional floating point number to boost the score (default value is 1.0).
SELECT account_number, address, _score
FROM accounts
WHERE SCORE(MATCH_QUERY(address, 'Lane'), 0.5) OR
SCORE(MATCH_QUERY(address, 'Street'), 100)
ORDER BY _score
account_number | address | score |
---|---|---|
1 | 880 Holmes Lane | 0.5 |
6 | 671 Bristol Street | 100 |
13 | 789 Madison Street | 100 |
